Find someone that is good with a camera and maybe somewhere you would have a good back drop, but not necassary as you can always photoshop one in
take from different angles and just take loads. You will pick the best ones out

Its all about finding a photographer. you need a glamour photographer with experience in car shows to ideally. Facebook is your friend. Find a model who's posed with cars and get the photographers name. i know one or 2 but there all birmingham based.

Good luck with it all

I can understand why you would want to have a professional take pics and make you look great..........but with a Subaru as a backdrop, oh dear.

The pics will end up looking rather 'factory calendar'.

Sounds like a good idea.

Just be sure to post up the results on here.

Why not post up a quick pic of yourself first, so we know what you look like?

EDIT.
I am taking a photographic course at College (maybe wanting a career change), so if you want some free pics taking, I could do with a bit of practice taking photo's

Failing my offer, maybe contact your local college/uni and see if any of the student types fancies a pop?

lol, you could end up with more offeres than you know what to do with after this post!

Seriously though, there should be plenty of up and coming photographers willing to have a go for free, just make sure they are prfeerably female and if not they have an asistant who is, to help with poses and clothing etc.

First off, find out if you're good looking enough to model by asking someone honest - not a friend. Nothing worse than seeing a 'wannabe' draped over a car. Trust me, i know a few.

have a look at this thread. The photographer of Clive's/Skullfudge's P1 is a guy I introduced to Clive called George Williams who is very good and was very very competitively priced. He is based near London, but he was about to go off to College/ was getting increasing attention from professional agencies so I'm not sure where he is at right now, but he would certainly be worth contacting as he is really talented. Get him through his website http://www.gfwilliams.net/About/
( no commercial connection etc)

In his blog section there is a video about shooting a white Lamborghini Gallardo SE which shows what he does - that's owned by a mate of mine, who first put me onto him
