North England Aston Martin Location

[sbeecroft]

I have the opportunity to photograph an Aston Martin. I will say I am not really a car photographer at all.

i wondered if anybody had any ideas of location around the North East of where to do this shoot? I am based in Northumberland but looking maybe Newcastle area.

Looking for somewhere that the car can be parked up and there is space to light with some off camera flash that also has some background interest.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say that a car like that would be better placed in an open road, rural context.
You're spoilt for choice in northumberland for locations like that. Anywhere on the Coquetdale road would be ideal.
Alternatively, the roads around Breamish Valley are good for shooting cars too.
Also factoring in the Cheviots as a backdrop would be a good shout I think.
If you're venturing further afield, the roads around Tan Hill in the Yorkshire Dales are ideally suited to shooting this sort of car I'd say

Thanks for the advice. I had in my mind a more urban option with a night city scene. Although wasn't sure so hence why I asked the question. I think I will look at country options now though.

It's my first time with a car like this and I just don't want to muck it up.

A guy called Tim Wallace did a great shoot of an AM under a building. Their lines really suit modern architecture.

Thanks I photographed the car end of last week. It didn't exactly go to plan as we got delayed and it got darker than anticipated.

This is the best I got.
