1

Park on Level Ground

Instruction: Park on a flat, even surface.

Why it Works: A level base helps you naturally keep the camera horizontal and steady.

2

Maintain Camera Level

Instruction: If you’re on a slight slope, hold the camera level with the car, not the horizon.

Why it Works: Prevents distortion from tilting the lens upward or downward.

3

Position Yourself 7 to 9 strides Away

Instruction: stand back Approximately 7–9 meters away from the car.

Why it Works: This distance prevents wide-angle bulging or stretched car proportions.

4

Use the Correct Shooting Height

Instruction: Position yourself so the camera is level somewhere between the door mirror and roof line.

Why it Works: Produces clean, professional automotive perspective.

5

Avoid Any Camera Tilt

Instruction: Keep the camera perfectly level - no sideways tilt and no up/down angle.

Why it Works: A level camera prevents perspective distortion, producing a seamless final edit.

6

Shoot in Soft Daylight

Instruction: Take photos during overcast weather or in open shade.

Why it Works: Soft, diffused light avoids harsh shadows and highlights, producing the cleanest results.

Good example: level, framed
Bad example: angled

Use landscape camera settings if you would like to include interior shots with any windows on view.
