Photographer for Automotive

For automotive

Billie shoots vehicles with controlled light and clean backgrounds, plus lifestyle images on location, so the cars look as good online as they do in person.

On the shoot

Advertising rules

Vehicle advertising must not show unsafe or illegal driving, so speed and behaviour on camera are planned with New Zealand’s advertising codes in mind.

Reflections

Paint and glass reflect the crew, the sky and the showroom, so vehicles are shot with large diffused light or in open shade and positioned with care.

The service

Billie shoots stills the same way it shoots film: with a clear idea, careful light and an eye for the frame. Artist portraits, campaign imagery, posters and behind-the-scenes stills can be shot on their own or alongside a video project.

What’s included

Artist and studio portraits
Campaign and product stills
Posters and key art
Behind-the-scenes coverage
Retouched, web-ready files
