Am I still a "Car Guy" if I don't care about engines, horsepower, or transmissions?
I admit it it. I'm superficial.
I suppose as a custom, automotive photographer I deserve a pass. After all, I absolutely love cars (and motorcycles and even some trucks); but not because of how they handle, or how fast they can go zero-to-sixty, but because of how they look!
Why bother photographing something that is already beautiful?
This Bentley would doubtlessly look spectacular in a coal mine! I see it as my job to create an image that freezes the car's beauty beyond what the normal eye would see.
I want to emphasize the raw power of this machine by creating a dramatic (and somewhat surreal) backdrop,
I then saturated the blue paint to keep the focus on the car. Lastly the low angle gives this Bentley the feeling of a tiger ready to spring.
Can it go 150 miles per hour? Probably. Do I really care? Nope. I don't own it!
Does it look like something the owner would like to have hanging in their office or garage long after they have traded it in for the latest model? I hope so.
Am I any less of a "Car Guy" because I only look at design, style, color, light, and shadow? I think not. I trust that my work adds another dimension to Cruise-Ins and Car Shows; and allows car-lovers the opportunity to see their wheels in a new light.

I live in Johns Creek, GA and when not at automotive events, I will photograph by appointment. Photo-shoots are always free. I only charge for prints.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…
