Be an Automotive Spy Photographer for a Day

By Jim Brennan

UDMan

Join Rich Truesdell in the hunt for the next big (automotive) thing. Here’s what rich has to say about this adventure:

Automotive spy photography is a bit like fishing. It involves getting up very early in the morning, and the results are not always what you hope for. If you enjoy the thrill of the hunt and are one of the lucky readers who will accompany me this season, we will arrange a designated rendezvous point in Riverside or San Bernardino County before heading north for a day’s fun in the desert. We’ll arrive at our destination well before lunch and won’t head back until after sundown, so it will be a very long day, but when it’s over, you’ll have a very clear idea of the obstacles–natural and man-made–that spy photographers encounter in their effort to get the shot that will be published on dozens of websites and land on the pages of your favorite car magazines.

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, read the article here.

I disguise my ass and gut with duct tape to make them look smaller…

aside from the whole-body bra treatment, the tape is silly. Like disguising an elephant with duct tape. Even the village idiot can make out the lines.

I seen a story on T.V. years ago, along those lines as a “spy” guy…
Lots of seat time,,,what i got from the story was that..the industry favored insiders’ usually get the-shots that bring the bucks from Road and Track mag.
