This past weekend, illmotion’s own Punit Patel informed me that he was next up for a shoot with the incredible Mike McConnell of MDM Visuals. You may remember the LS460L and CT200h photo shoot that Mike did for Jason Hoang and myself (Click HERE to refresh you memory), so when Punit asked me if I would like to tag along for his shoot, I had no hesitations as I love the whole “behind the scenes” atmosphere of being at a shoot, especially one of Mike McConnell’s. One thing I love about Mike’s shoots is the way he gets everyone involved to not only get a little assistance, but to make his photos that much more amazing (you’ll see what I mean with the night shots that were taken).

Before we get to the pictures however, here’s a little background story on Punit’s latest platform, a 2007 Lexus GS450h. Last winter, Jason, Punit and I were in talks to switch up our cars and try something that was very new to all of us, “VIP modding”. To make a long story short, Jason and I had already acquired our cars (a Lexus LS460L, and a CT200h respectively) and Punit was in search of THE Lexus he’s been wanting for a long time, the GS. After a couple test drives with two GS460 and two GS450h models, Punit eventually found himself as the owner of a Dark Blue Pearl GS450h.

Currently sitting modestly low on a set of BC Racing BR Coilovers and a rare set of AME Shallen LX wheels, Punit wasted no time getting his GS450h looking exactly how he envisioned it, and this is only the beginning. With plans for air suspension, aero, and a new set of wheels next year, it’s safe to say that Punit’s got this whole “VIP” thing figured out!

In the mean time, let’s enjoy a few super dope shots of Punit’s GS450h through the eyes of Mike McConnell of MDM Visuals.

I had mentioned earlier that Mike’s shoots get everybody involved, and this is where Punit and I were holding flashes from two different angles making this shot turn out the way you see it here! Love the interaction Mike incorporates into his shoots!

Possibly the most epic photo bomb ever courtesy of Jesse and his MKII! Haha!

Without a doubt this is one of the coolest shots that Mike captured featuring Punit’s latest Jordan cop, Glow 4s!
