    Cleopatra’s Final Form | Car Feature

     Louie hit me up to give my IS250 aka “Cleopatra”, her last shoot because he saw on my Instagram that I was selling her. I’ve always been a fan of Louie’s light painting photography and was stoked that he offered to shoot it. Good thing I don’t have a job because we were able to plan a shoot pretty quick. We decided to meet in Seal Beach where almost all of SoCal goes there for a photo shoot.

    Louie’s sick Miata.

    Such clean body lines.

    Coincidentally we ran into other enthusiasts trying to get some photos in before the sun came down.

    Awesome EVO..

    Had to get some shots in of my own car, but this lady was in the shot the whole time. She’s a professional photo bomber.

    After everyone left, Louie did his thing and light painted my car like a french girl. We thought the shots were so awesome in it’s raw form that we wanted to see if Elvis would feature it on Stance Nation and to his kindness he did!

    Please check out the feature on Stance Nation here shot by Louie(@lmphotos)..

    First like, first comment, first post this post will be all about the first of everything for 2015. Rang in the new year doing our usual hoodratstuff and basically got nothing done.

    When the sun comes down the hoodrats come out to play.

    I’ve been wanting to go out to take photos of stars for the longest time. Hanging out in Jordan’s neighborhood gave me the motivation because Villa Park neighborhoods are pitch black with no street lights. Perfect for star gazing.

    037

    This reminds me of a great poem I saw the other day.

    038

    You were red. You liked me cause I was blue. You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky and you decided that purple just wasn’t for you.

    040

    After some failed attempts to take photos of the stars, we decided that it would be fun to try to light paint. Of course, we never come prepared, so we had to figure out some hoodratstuff.

    041

    We had the power of two IPhone 5S with 11%-30% battery life to help us light paint some cars. Even though the first couple of trials gave us some horrendous outcomes, we finally got it together in the next couple of shots.

    043

    Pretty good I do say so myself for someone who can’t afford lighting equipment and never really light painted.

    045

    For some reason, we thought it would be funny to shoot this photo. JDM sideways parked trashcans are cool right?

    046

    Went down the street and just light painted anything that had wheels on it including Shavi’s daily M30. This car has some crazy stuff coming soon and I’m glad that Shavi will use this photo for transformation Tuesdays one day.

    047

    Next car was Jordan’s dad’s Mercedes, Jordan sent this photo to his dad and his dad didn’t even recognize his own car and said it was a pretty nice Mercedes.

    048

    Derek’s car was probably the worst car to light paint with it. The black adsorbed all of the light lines and that shit took forever to photoshop out.

    068

    050

    Final result. Derek’s car is still ugly.

    Double light painting! What does it mean?! (2 IPhone 5S and 2 IPhone 6 were used for this shot)

    I want this to be our thing so bad. Shooting product photos on top of a trashcan. 

    078

    Not bad eh? I would promote buying this plate, but we already sold out.

    060

    We decided that Derek needed an album cover for his beat mixes and maybe a new facebook profile photo.

    059

    Reppin HOODRATstuff til he stops working at a Thai restaurant.
