10 high-quality car snaps you need to see

Cape Town - Automotive photography is an art. It's about being in the right place at the right time, especially if a vehicle is spotted along a busy London street for example.

It's about lighting, colour, background and many other aspects associated with photography. 

Two of my favourite automotive photographers whom I believe hit the nail on the head in terms of car photography are Alex Penfold and Luke Gilbertson. Both are based in the United Kingdom and boast large followings on photo-sharing platform Instagram. 

Gilbertson owns a BMW 1M which occasionally features on his Instagram timeline.
