Interesting auto photography technique

[BGlover67]

My friend owns a customized 1957 Buick Riviera and was asked to use his car in a unique photoshoot.  It seems they use a modern time exposure technique and paint the car with light. (sorry for the low resolution) 





Here is another one using the same technique. 



And another:



It takes a few hours, but it makes the car look like it was 'painted'.  This photographer offered copies printed on aluminum sheets.  I'd love to see some Shelby's like this.  Very cool!

That is the technique used by Tom Loeser in photoing all the cars in the book "the Art of the Mustang".  My car was one of the lucky cars to be included and I spent 9 hours in a dark warehouse watching Tom photogragh one car!  The reuslts are awesome.  Great technique.

I thought that was how they did that!  Great pics!

I'd love to learn how to do that!! Looks amazing!
I assume a photographer needs to photo the car in person to make pics like this. 
not something you can send someone a pic of your car and they photoshop etc.

correct, we use to do this on some product literature.

As stated by "Cobra567"  basically this requires a controlled environment (dark room) and the photographer selectively uses light to illuminate the subject to the open lens of the camera.

Well, that is one way to get a painting of your car with correct verisimilitude.

The Bronze '69 really does look like a painting.

Helps that all the cars are pretty much perfect.
