It is a great idea for owners to be taking pictures of Ferraris owned as a record for potential insurance purposes.  Often, your insurance agent will come to your residence to take pictures of Ferraris you own to place in your account file. This is important because these cars are exquisitely expensive, you are paying top dollar premiums for protection and the insurance company always wants a before look. This is why insurance pictures of Ferraris are an important detail for your financial protection.

When taking pictures of Ferraris you own by yourself, there are a number of factors you need to know in order to make sure you are successful. There are several types of pictures of Ferraris to consider:

• Angles – make sure to include front, rear and both side views when taking pictures of Ferraris for record purposes. If possible, take several pictures of Ferraris, concentrating on shots of the doors, hood, roof, both back quarter panels, both front quarter panels and any accent areas like wheel rims or hood ornaments as well.
• Make sure to take pictures of Ferraris on a clear, but overcast, day to maintain a proper color balance that will be effectively representative.
• Record the exposure information for each shot, including the time of day and date when taking pictures of Ferraris.

 In the event you experience an accident, it is important to immediately take several photographs of the car recording any and all of the damage that happens. This will help you when dealing with your insurance agent since proper visual recording, by taking pictures of Ferraris you own, will aid when negotiating a settlement.  

Why?

Have you ever heard the cliché,  “A picture is worth a thousand words?”  So, what are 20 pictures worth? Your Ferrari is an expensive investment of not only money but emotions as well. A great tip is to purchase a disposable camera and place it in the car’s glove box in the event it is needed at an accident scene. When, or if, this does occur, you have only one opportunity to record the scene, making sure you photograph all the damage that has been sustained.

How?

Take several shots from different angles as well as from varying distances. Take several pictures from three to five feet first. Then take several more shots from five to 15 feet. Move further away to record both cars and the entire surrounding area. Always make sure to take photos of the car that hit you. If you hit the other car, it is a good idea to record the damage sustained so you have a record in case you need to dispute what may be an inaccurate claim upon your policy. Also, take pictures of the road and or intersection where the accident occurred. It is important to record any skid marks made at the scene.

Taking pictures of Ferraris for insurance purposes – both before and after an accident – will go a long way toward protecting your investment.
