Sharjah24: As part of the 10th edition of Xposure International Photography Festival , Emirati photographer Omran Alansari took part in a panel discussion titled “Automotive Photography Secrets,” where he outlined the artistic and technical requirements of this specialised creative field.
During the session, Alansari reviewed the professional techniques and technical considerations involved in automotive photography, describing it as a standalone artistic discipline that requires specialised equipment and tailored approaches depending on the type of vehicle being photographed, with the aim of highlighting its aesthetic value and fine design details.
In statements to Sharjah 24, he stressed that successful car photography depends on achieving harmony between the vehicle and its shooting environment. He explained that modern and sports cars typically require contemporary backdrops and high-intensity lighting to emphasise sharp lines and visual dynamics, while classic cars are better suited to heritage-style settings and softer lighting that create warmth and highlight the model’s history and authenticity.
