Photo tips for a fastback, a convertible or a crossover
- Fastback (Mustang GT and other coupes): the sloping roof running down to a short tail is what the camera follows. A rear three-quarter shot with the whole car in frame shows that slope and the tail lights directly; the front three-quarter default leaves the maker to work out the rear.
- Convertible: roof up gives a clear roofline. With the roof down, the cabin is rebuilt by the model and can vary between attempts; either way, you get in through the driver’s door.
- Mach-E: it is an electric crossover, taller than the coupe, so step back until the roof and all four wheels are in frame. It gets the same four rocket nozzles as any other car.
- Stripes, wraps and body kits: racing stripes, wraps and spoilers are copied from your photo; any lettering on them is not.
- Older or modified cars: the maker copies the body it sees, so a sharp, recent photo matters more than the age of the car.
- Use your own photos, or photos you have permission to use, of the person and of the car. No celebrities or public figures.
