Emily & Marilyn, Thanks very much for the tips, I read your mails few times so that I could fully understand everything. I will take your advice. The only reason I mentioned about the filters was that I read somewhere to use colour intensifier when taking fall pictures, but I dont know what kind of effect it would have on skin tones. However I will definitely use polarizing filter if there is too much reflection. It also makes sense about the pictures targeting not just the high end buyers but also middle class. If the picture has to go on the business card then definitely the face should be clearly visible on the card and I dont know how much of his car can be seen in it. I searched web for some examples on people's portraits taken with their classic cars but have not found any. I like the idea of showing the ornament on the car, just have to figure how I can make him pose and look natural showing him and the ornament at the same time. I am planning on taking a step-up stool with me so that I can shoot some pictures from a top angle and see how they turn out and yes I will definitely take several pictures and then look at all of them and decide which one looks good.
