Spotlight on Automotive Photography: Capturing a 1996 Mazda Miata in Palisade
Recently, we had the opportunity to photograph a 1996 Mazda Miata, with extremely low mileage in the stunning landscape of Palisade, Colorado. The seller wanted professional photos to help his car stand out on an online auction site, and we were thrilled to bring our passion for automotive photography to the project. The midnight blue Miata, framed by the iconic Mt. Garfield and Book Cliffs, made for a striking combination of craftsmanship and natural beauty. By selecting such a scenic backdrop, we were able to highlight both the car’s sleek design and the Western Colorado landscape.
Automotive photography has always been a favorite of ours, as it allows us to showcase the personality of each vehicle. With every shoot, we focus on capturing the distinct character of the car, whether it's the polished shine of the paint or the meticulous details of the interior. Cars have a unique story, and our job is to bring that story to life. In this shoot, the challenge was not only to make the Miata look its best but also to communicate the sense of freedom and adventure that comes with owning a fun little sports car.
What made this particular project so rewarding was blending the car’s aesthetics with our love for the Colorado outdoors. The location was chosen not only for its scenic value but also to ensure the Miata stood out in a sea of auction listings. The rugged mountain backdrop contrasted beautifully with the car’s smooth, polished exterior. Utilizing the directional light from the sunset, and early evening light we accentuated the curves of the Miata, both with its hardtop on and convertible top down. It’s moments like these that demonstrate how location and photography can come together to elevate any product or item for sale.
