So yesterday I was down at the Max-Josef-Platz for a school photography project. Me and my partner were supposed to photograph the skateboarders when all of a sudden a Chevrolet Camaro SS and two Ford Mustang GT's show up!

The Camaro had an "Auto Magnus" sticker on the side and I guessed early on that this was an import dealership that specialized in American cars. Later at home I found their website (Home page - Auto Magnus). I had to laugh my ass off when I saw that they had a Lexus ES in their showroom. A fancy Camry for Europe?

Anyway, the two models, the photographer and the guy in the blue shirt were all Russians and spoke only Russian it seemed. There was also a Canadian man who seemed to be the boss and a German women (his assistant) with them. The Canadian described his photoshoot visions to the German woman who then spoke in Russian to the photographer (who told the models what to do) and the guy in the blue shirt (who positioned the cars). I don't think this photographer was a pro since they were photographing at the worst possible time: extreme sunlight. And of course in a busy public place with lots of background and foreground distractions. Also, this being Germany (

), the cops showed up (

) and began questioning the group about a permit for photographing in a public place (

). I don't know how they solved the issue since after some time the cops left and these guys kept shooting.

Here's the best part. I approached the German woman early on during the shooting and chatted with her for awhile. At a suitable moment I told her that photographing cars is one of my passions and that I would like to send her some of my pictures. She gave me her card and told me to email her sometime. I remained with them throughout the shooting and also took some shots of my own. I guess the way I took pictures must have impressed her since at the end of the day she told me she wants me to stop by their place sometime for a photoshoot! In her words: "Come by our place because we might have some photography jobs for you!"

Ok, so here are some of the shots. I am posting the crappy pictures here because I am saving the good ones for the photo competitions. Also, I still had to take pictures for my school project which meant I had to take most of the car shots here in JPEG format as I needed the 4 GB card disk space for RAW format shots for my school project photos.

Nice, Clothing optional??? Dinner and a photo?

I noticed a pattern with how you photographed the girl in black, I bet you have some "better" pics. zoomed in more.

Hopefully your pictures will be just like his, only much better! Take his job

Damn, I thought you were talking 'bout GTA again or something until I saw the pictures You didn't take pics of the german or are you saving her for,later? IMO it's quite pathetic to take models in these kind of pictured, doubt it really helps anything when it comes to selling these cars. Those girls look good though on this phone at least Well god luck with photing that lady..

I found the girl in black prettier than the blonde. Her face was softer and more kinder-looking. The blonde looked like she wanted to kick you in the nuts.

These shots were supposedly for a magazine called Automobiles. I don't expect it to be a very good magazine from a photography and possibly typography standpoint give what I've seen here.

The German woman wasn't very attractive, but she was friendly. You can see her in the third photo with the yellow scarf.

Well, IMO these models weren't so pretty either, got to have more than skin round your bones, well that's just my opinion, oh and the black one doesn't look so happy either . Yay, posted my first message with my new phone Surprisingly few typos, I had to come back to check how it went, with the messaging I mean. Well off to bed then
Oh, btw Wimmer now when I'm on my laptop I could see more than 1/4 at a time of the pics so now I can comment them. Yeah, you're pics were awesome, you're photos were all great, especially the ones with skateboarders (models weren't so good IMO, not your fault though). I can't imagine what photos you are still hiding if you've still not unveiled the best ones

You have plenty of pics of the girl in black from behind, "her best angle?"
But there is something off with both of them

Awesome pics and cool story dude. I hope it works out for you.

I don't have many pictures of her from behind. I was shooting them and at the same time I had some friendly skaters who did cool stunts for me and my project partner so I was sadly more focused on the school project than the Camaro and the chicks. If I was down there for car spotting then I would have taken more pictures and I would have been more focused to.

Thanks.

Those models definitely were not "models". They were probably good-looking friends of a friend who knew someone etc. but they were definitely not top class model material. At least the chick with the brown hair could be cute-looking!
