New 2012 1013MM Portfolio and Photo Editing Contest #2
Contest below.
Introducing the all NEW 2012 1013MM online portfolio! It seriously took me almost 2 years to redo and design, but here it finally is. It’s a work in progress and won’t be left behind, I promise this time. To be honest, I wasn’t comfortable updating because I felt that I didn’t have work that was good enough. However, recently a lot of my clients have referred back to my photos from 2-3 years ago thinking that they were referring to my most recent work and I felt pretty embarrassed. So with the help of some photographer friends and family, I was able to put together a new online portfolio layout with my most updated work from 2011 to show. Of course my daily/weekly updates will still be here on the blog since it takes time for new work to settle in before I can go back and evaluate between a master photo or a random snapshot. I’ve only included my automotive work only since that’s what I’m most known for. All my other work can be seen on my Flickr or Facebook fan page. So without further ado, check out my online portfolio now for never before seen 1013MM photos!
To celebrate the release of my new portfolio, I decided that it was only right to celebrate by releasing a contest along side it. Below is an unedited photo that I took, save it and edit it your way and submit it to my Facebook fan page or to John @ 1013MM.com for me to judge personally. In the end, I will choose 3 winners to send a high quality 1013MM poster and key chain to. My judging will not be biased, it will be based purely on editing technique and style. Digital photography is all about being unique, so give it a try! The only rule is to not remove my credit below the photo. Contest ends on March 5th.

Hey! I`ve been following your blog for a month or so and I really like your photos! By brother has a R34 GTR V-Spec II in Sparkling Silver and we`ve paid for expensive photoshoots. Your photography is slowly dragging me in to the world of photography. I`m only 19 so I guess its not too late?
Do you have any tips on how to start learing photoshop (I have CS5)? We assume that I know nothing. Do you have any tips regarding first camera and gear?
I know how to build engines, chassis and do amazing bodywork but I really want to get into photography and shoot my widebody 700hp RB26 S13 when its finished.
Thanks for your awsome photography!

Hey David, first of all thanks for the compliment. I don’t really have too many resources on how to get started with Photoshop or anything like that since I was self-taught. However nowadays places like flickr, forums, google or youtube has very good tutorials to teach you how to do certain things. I myself will sometimes post tips and tricks too here on my blog. For software, if you’re first starting off, I would suggest, iphoto for Mac, Canon, Nikon or Sony software (depending on the camera you buy), or Adobe Lightroom 3. These are all beginner programs that will help you edge your way up to Photoshop if you know nothing about it.
As for cameras, you can’t go wrong with Canon or Nikon, I myself own both but use Nikon more. The whole Nikon vs Canon argument is like Apple vs Windows, it never ends so I won’t get into it. The best way to choose the correct starter camera is to go out to a store and feel them out. You can’t got wrong with a Canon T3i or a Nikon D3100. Both are very user-friendly and I have both as my backups.
Hope this helps!!

Thanks mate! I have Mac and PC and honestly I`ve never tried iPhoto (I`ve been using mac for two months). I have Lightroom 3 but havent installed it yet. I think I`ll pick up a T3i and start taking some pictures during my road trip across Italy in my brothers R34. Heard that landscapes are a good place to start, is it true?

Sounds good! Never been to Europe so not sure about the landscapes, I’m sure it’s nice.
