Joey Arcisz · director of photography

I shoot cars, trucks, tractors, and trailers for brands and agencies, on racetracks, tow rigs, factory floors, and mountain roads. Dallas is home base, and I bring the camera package.

The lanewhy this work, why me

Vehicle work is a logistics problem before it is a picture: roads, chase positions, drone windows, and light that lasts twenty minutes. I build the day around the vehicle and the sun, then shoot it so the edit has every angle it needs.

I have shot for Toyota, Chevrolet, Kubota, Living Vehicle, and Gatik as director of photography, and I directed and shot Alvies car to car in Austin. Kubota took me across four states. Living Vehicle ran out of Santa Barbara. On Red Bull's F1 drivers versus NASCAR film I was one of the camera leads, and I shot camera on Chevrolet's 2026 State Fair of Texas food review.

FAQthe short version

Do you shoot car and vehicle commercials out of Dallas?

Yes. Dallas-Fort Worth is home base, and vehicle work has taken me from Grapevine to Tennessee, Kansas, Georgia, and California.

Can you cover tracking and drone on the same day?

Yes. Rolling, chase, and drone coverage are part of how I plan a vehicle day. Send the vehicle, the location, and the deliverables, and I will build the coverage around them.

Do you bring the camera package?

Yes. Camera, lights, and grip come from Geared Like A Machine, my production company in Dallas, so I can arrive as crew and equipment at once.

How do I hire you?

Email joeyarcisz@me.com with the vehicle, the dates, and the locations. Instagram @joeyarcisz works too.
