Suggestions on places for car shoot in Bay Area

Hey guys,

I just wanted to know if there's any spots you recommend to take pics of our rides, preferably in the San Jose area, not looking too far to drive. My buddy and I were just curious to see if there's any cool looking buildings that has modern futuristic, backgrounds, artwork, etc that will make the pictures pop even more.

TIA

There's a partially abandoned fruit processing plant at the end of Quinn Ave - go around back and there's the remnants of a loading dock flanked by trees

If you want a cool backdrop
Fabers Cyclery


Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in western North America could be a really cool backdrop but you'd have to shoot from the street.

The JTR Area Distributors building on Keyes and 3rd could be really good if you did it right 1102 S 3RD ST SAN JOSE, CA 95112-5918


It's an old brick foundry
