Cosa ami del tuo lavoro?
The story that each car has. There is always a different story with each car, and I find it fascinating. They’re like silent people that show their stories rather than speak it. I love being able to bring that to the surface through camera settings and lighting depending on what the story of the car might be.
Che tipi di servizi hai fatto e come li hai resi speciali?
If we’re only talking about car shoots - I offer my clients, no matter what the subject is - a completely customer centered experience. I make sure that they’re comfortable, that they know what is about to happen to them and their car, and what we’re going to do. I go over questions and make sure they know all of what they need before heading into the shoot. Once we’re done with shooting I usually offer them a variety of products to print from - for example a suede covered booked with high quality prints inside. When I deliver that product, I usually try to get a hot wheels that matches their car and a little bottle of something to make it extra special. The guys typically love that when that’s what is delivered. I mean what car person wouldn’t want that kind of treatment? I know that because I’m a complete car enthusiast at heart and treat my clients the way that I would want to be treated or how I would want my friends and family treated.
Premi, onorificenze e riconoscimenti ricevuti
I was pretty excited when The NY Times published an article on a couple that I took their pictures of on the day of their elopement. That was pretty cool. Also was published in a magazine for some other wedding photos. Still waiting for awards like this for cars one day, but I’m not set on it - If I get awards it’s just an indication that I’m doing something right and the learnings are working. That’s all. I don’t strive for awards or recognition - if my clients are happy, that’s all I care about.
Un fatto divertente su questo fotografo
I lived in Germany for 10 years - worked for Volkswagen AG for 7 of those years, had a mental health startup, and a consultancy for the last 3 years. It was a life-changing experience and changed my life forever.
