Photography 201 with Professor Beck Bring a Trailer Podcast
-
- Automotive
Alex and Beck (not actually a professor, but himself a former AP photojournalist) go deep into the field of photos on BaT, moving beyond the basics to cover the relationship between attention-getting shots and informational shots; videos as proof of life; parental nurse cosplay; the optimum "pull gear" for a driving video; asset versus opportunity; things to look out for when hiring a pro; experiential photos for mid-auction engagement; the most important aspects of shooting a BaT Alumni Gathering; the perils of attempting rolling shots; a digression into the venerable, quickly appreciating W124 Mercedes-Benz; the wisdom of the seller-provided PPI and the omission of sales fluff; BaT firsts, even after all this time; a major deficiency in Beck's automotive upbringing; the '70s European cars ripe for modification; and automotive camera brand equivalents.
