BTS on a Porsche Race Car Driver Photoshoot for Helimods - Brisbane Commercial Lifestyle Photography

Take a handful of Porsche racing cars, add one of the Australia’s top young racing drivers, mix in one of our favourite clients, add a dash of outdoor studio lighting and sprinkle liberally with a brand new stunningly sharp canon lens and you have the recipe for one hell of a commercial lifestyle photoshoot.

Our friends at Helimods at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, commissioned LP Commercial Photography to capture a set of images celebrating not only the end of their first year as sponsors of a Porsche race team, but also celebrating team driver and Helimods intern, Harri Jones, being crowned Australian Champion in his first season.

We managed to get our timing just right for the photoshoot, with Harri juggling dates between testing his new cars for next season in Germany, travelling back to the Sunshine Coast and sitting his university exams. As our shoot date approached, the weather changed and on the day we were faced with dark and gloomy skies as we drove up from Brisbane to Helimod’s airport-based headquarters. As our late afternoon shoot time approached we were faced with only the mildest hint of a crack in the clouds for a sunset.

Rescheduling wasn’t an option, so out came the big strobes, taking our studio lights on set to create some dramatic images with a 4 light setup.

The week of the shoot, we were lucky enough to have Canon lend us one of their new 28-70 f2 lenses to try out on the EOS R mirrorless cameras we are slowly transitioning to. The lens was fantastic, sharp all the way through its aperture range and a had a really crisp fall off in focus at the wider end. Coupled to the EOS R it was a great combo to shoot with.

See LP Commercial Photography behind the scenes fun below of our afternoon with Helimods, as well as a few images of the finished product.
