I live near the historic Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsborough, North Carolina, one of NASCAR’s first tracks and the last surviving dirt track of its kind. On the grounds, two rusted race cars still rest, relics of another era. I envisioned capturing these cars as though they had come "back from the dead" in a dramatic photo.
To bring this vision to life, I used multiple flash pops to illuminate the car while keeping the background dark, then composited the flashes for a layered effect. For a touch of eerie fun, I added a skeleton in the driver’s seat using generative fill in Photoshop, creating a surreal, ghostly scene.
