Venue Photography for motor retail and aftersales
For venue photography on a dealership, less is nearly always more: a curated 20 beats a splashy 60 every time. Forecourt photography is a reflection problem: painted panels and glass mirror everything around them, so vehicle position and shooting angle do most of the work before any editing.
Proof
Where this has worked
Dealer sets are used across stock listings, manufacturer submissions and local paid social simultaneously.
Context

The short version: interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. Angle and position beat retouching every time on painted panels.
