Details please

Eric, we need to know the details. What did you do to elevate these pictures to "outstanding"?

-What, besides the wrap and wheel/tire package, modifications have you made to the car?
-What photographic and/or post photographic manipulations have you applied? How did you achieve the almost monotone grey/black, plus hints of color?

I would love to be able to make "professional plus" level images like these. You know the secrets, come on, tell us, you are among friends.

These are far from the level of what I shoot. Being that I'm always shooting for clients I spend the time to setup lights, when it comes to my own car, they are always just snaps lol.

Post processing is quite extensive on some shots, to minimal on others. Couple bits of simple advice, shoot in raw, know your angles, know your lighting. I do most of my pre-processing in raw editor, then bring them into photoshop where I do touch up and coloring. These pictures are highly edited and weren't actually meant for web, they were from my Instagram feed (@ericgmbh if you want to see more shots) so they aren't the best in terms of clarity, and were overly processed. When you're viewing pictures on your phone vs. the web, I would process them differently. I use a combination of raw editor, photoshop, and even my iPhone apps to do correction. Almost everything on my instagram account is done on the fly, meaning, I'll shoot it, then process it through my phone. Lazy yes, but most of the time if they are going on my instagram then I don't spend too much time preparing them for print. If I intend to use them for print, I edit in a different fashion and will go in and do cleanup.

I know this was a bit vague, but there is too many steps to write out without getting lost.
