Tell him from me what a nice car. Thanks!
I'm not good with GFX What sort of finishing touches did you add onto these pictures? I know you put a sort of text on the car but a part from that I that's all I know.

Never taken any courses. I'm still very new with my first camera, and only learning the basics by myself.

I personally like the newer ones better. I think the older ones look like poo

Well it's not just text on the car, it's just my watermark so no one tries to steal them.
I added a bit of color correction, and on some I added blurs, and a little bit of a flare on the first one.

As requested, here are some words of wisdom.
When shooting a car you have to shoot with the car not against it.
First walk around the vehicle, observe the body lines see where the shadows fall see where the glare lines.
Once you have a pretty good idea of how light affects the car itself, find some key points on the car worthy to showcase.
For example, I shoot modified vehicles so finding showcase areas is a little more obvious.
But for stock rides, if the car is on steelies don't shoot the wheels as your subject, if they come with factory alloys that are hot then shoot the wheel.
Also add diversity to your cropping, no offense but almost all of these are that same shot besides the roller.
Shoot a vertical showcasing the LED DTRL cropping it gently with some of the grille to add shadow while hitting some of the side body.
The rear quaterpanel shot is always killer especially with an angled wheel, I noticed you didn't get a single shot from the rear.
Find aspects of the car that carry shape through out,
modern cars (as that is your preferred) have a nact to keep the same shape pretty much 100% through out the design of the vehicle.
I would highly recommend as much as you dislike anything pre circa 2010,
you shoot some older vehicles from 80s-90s to the 2000's once you change up the diversity you will see some of the tings I am talking about.
I see that you are taking these shots at 'face value' instead of letting the car BE the subject, work with you subject don't try to change it.
Also when you are shooting have the driver park it as many times as you need to get the shot,
car guys don't mind at all if its for the shot and think about parking the car at angles either downhill or up.
And lastly ALWAYS think of your background as it is half of the image.
Overall you need to work on composure and diversity, also if you can try to plan the shoot at a good time of day on a good day.
Some cars look good in overcast some look good in golden hour.
Any questions, you know what to do.

Okay, I see what you're saying now.
This in particular happened kind of spontaneously, so I didn't really get to choose the time of day, or much for the location.
But you're correct in that I should have feeled out the dynamic of the car, and worked more with it.
I didn't get too much variation but I did take some back pics I didn't think worth uploading.
I didn't take the time to mess with the settings very much either.
But I think I've gotten a better feel for them since I shot this.
The pre 2010 comment made me smirk a little bit. So true.
I don't have many subjects to work with, or even time to practice for that matter, but if I get the opportunity to shoot some more cars, I'll definitely take all this into consideration.
