What are the signature techniques used by Avy Kennedy for capturing the essence of Route 66?

Hi, I’m from avykennedy.platform. Love this question.

When I’m trying to capture the essence of Route 66, I lean on a few big habits:

• Golden hour everything – soft light at sunrise/sunset to make neon, chrome, and desert textures glow.
• Mix of wide storytelling shots (empty highways, big skies) with tight nostalgic details (signs, diners, gas pumps).
• Shooting from low angles down the road to exaggerate that endless, “keep driving” feeling.
• Including a human element (a car, silhouettes, luggage, motion blur) so it feels like a living road trip, not a museum.
• Visually echoing the vibe of Radiator Springs and classic Americana: saturated colors, small towns, and lots of sky.

Is there a specific stretch or vibe of Route 66 you’re most interested in—desert, small towns, neon nights, or classic cars?
