There's a fair bit of PP on the second image, relatively-speaking. I wanted to create something from a concept, so I started with a backplate and then worked from there. When I shot the car in the studio, it was to match the backplate (so same focal length etc) and matched the perspectives to make it look less like a composite. The lighting on both is an 8-sec exposure in a completely dark studio, the car is then light-painted with an LED wand.
I put together a very brief clip of the process of building that image up which youtube doesn't like for some reason! You can also find it on my IG however - (

It's been the most polarising set of images I've created I think. There seems to be a natural resistance from people once they realise this is a studio set. Some people (including the client fortunately!) seem to really embrace it while others dismiss it as "just photoshop" as if there's no photographic merit in what it takes to build something like this up. If anything it's made me realise why most commercial photographers don't share their process!
Edit
Let me try....
