Ken H Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm not much of a model builder but I do like to collect and photograph them. I'm definitely inspired by the awesome work of Michael Paul Smith. I have huge respect for those of you who can build these things and make them look real. I like to photograph them and make them look real. Please check out my work.

Foxer Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think you have succeeded in the Realism department with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think you have succeeded in the Realism department with this one!I second this. It has that "mood" that real photos have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 This looks just like early morning in the shop I used to work in. The angle of the light and the shadows. You're hitting th mark. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perspective Customs Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Fantastic ! The only thing that made me realize this was not a 1:1 picture is the jack. Awesome photo ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Beautiful work, Ken. It brings Michael Paul Smith to mind so I'd say you succeeded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I second this. It has that "mood" that real photos have. To illustrate this, this is the scene that came to my mind immediately when I saw your photo. It is a Willys I saw on display in a recreation of an old time village garage. Probably the only Willys coupe still intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken H Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) That's a great photo, Landman! If I had a Willys like that I'd keep it a little cleaner!Thanks to everyone for the kind words. There are a few more photos on my Flickr page if anyone is interested: LINKCord and Ford by Kenneth Hendricks, on Flickr Edited November 19, 2016 by Ken H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 That's a great photo Ken. Its almost surreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Coupe Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm definitely inspired by the awesome work of Michael Paul Smith. I have huge respect for those of you who can build these things and make them look real. I'll second this! I love to build dioramas too, but mine are definitely on a very amateur level to be sure. You'll never mistake mine for a real life scene. None the less they still serve to inspire the imagination. Great photography Ken, and an awesome web page! Those models look like photos of actual cars and garages. Thanks for sharing your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken H Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Thank you Peter! I really enjoy taking photos of these beautiful cars.

Spex84 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Incredibly cool!That woodie wagon is stunning. That photo is almost surgically sharp, and the garage dio has fantastic detailing and lighting. I wish my photos were a tenth as good as these!If I could recommend anything, it would be to knock the shine off those tires in the foreground; they kind of give the secret away!
