Insane Skid Shot Makes Cover
Who doesn’t love a good skid shot?! I know the team at Street Machine sure do. And from the feedback I’ve seen online, many readers do, too.
I got to shoot Dom Luci’s Holden for the cover of Street Machine’s January 2025 issue. The skid shot was the last thing we did during the photo shoot. It took mere seconds to finish off the sticky rubber at the back and the smoke was instant.
Believe it or not, this was actually the only viable frame I got from the skid. I had set the car up to make best use of the sun, and set up a couple of flashes around the car to fill in some shadow and light up the smoke. The car had other ideas. It immediately kicked off to the side, Dom went out of view – hidden behind the bower – and the flashes were no longer in their optimum positions.Â
After that, the car just disappeared behind a thick cloud of smoke, noever to be seen again. The air was quite still that afternoon and there was no moving it. Despite that, this shot still ticked almost all the boxes and the cover came out great!
