I shoot cars, trucks, tractors, and trailers for brands and agencies. Racetracks, tow rigs, factory floors, and mountain roads. Dallas is home base, and the camera package is mine.
The lanewhy this work, why me
Vehicle work is a logistics problem before it is a picture. Roads, chase positions, drone windows, and a light that only lasts twenty minutes. I build the day around the vehicle and the sun, then shoot it so the edit has every angle it needs.
Toyota, Chevrolet, Kubota, and Living Vehicle have all put product in front of my lens. Kubota ran across four states. Living Vehicle ran out of Santa Barbara.

How I shoot itthe approach on set
Chase and track
Rolling and drone coverage planned around one lap, one pass, one road. Low angles on the tires, long lenses on the straight.
The edge of the day
Paint and metal read best when the sun is low. The schedule gets built so the hero pass lands when the light does.
Detail passes
Badges, sidewalls, fenders, and the factory floor. The close work is what makes the wide shot feel expensive.
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.
