You'll need to upload it to a server that allows image hotlinking

Some C&C

Focus more on the car, less of the surroundings (unless you have an amazing back drop that you can integrate into the image).

I prefer to use telephoto lenses for compression, which puts more focus on the car instead of the background. I do occasional wide angle shots, but I don't live in an area that makes for a nice background.

Keep it simple at first, then you can start experimenting. Just a few examples of a simple set up




Once you get the basics down, you can get more creative with rig shots or multiple strobe set ups


Keep shooting, learn from previous shoots, make adjustments on the next one and the photos will gradually improve.

I would also avoid a night shoot if possible when you're just starting out. It's quite difficult to avoid the blown out lights you see in your 2nd and 4th pic.
