Car Photography Questions & Answers
How much does a shoot cost?
The short answer: it depends. That said, I’ll do my best to work within your set budget. I can build a photoshoot package to meet any needs.

What should I expect on the shoot?
We’ll generally try to meet up around sunrise or sunset for the best lighting. A basic photos-only shoot takes around 90 minutes, if we’re doing video add another 90 minutes at a minimum. You’re more than welcome to stay with me during the shoot, but it’s not required.
You should ensure the car is very well detailed as any dirt or smudges are likely to show up in the photos. I’ll ask you to walk me through any specific details on the car, things you’d like to highlight, etc.
Will you come to my location?
Absolutely. I’ll traveled all over Texas for shoots. I’m currently located in Austin, but have no problem traveling. Within a reasonable distance, I’ll do it at no charge.
If it’s outside the Austin area, I’ll ask for travel expenses.
What photography gear are you using?
I’ve been through a LOT of gear over the years. However, I’ve settled on Sony cameras and G Master lenses. They’re consistent and produce beautiful images.
- Sony Alpha A7 III
- Sony G Master 16-35 f/2.8 II
- Sony G Master 24-70 f/2.8 II
- Sony G Master 70-200 f/2.8 II
- Sony G Master 85mm f/1.4 II
- Sony G Master 135mm f/1.8
Do you shoot video as well?
Absolutely! For most online listings I’d recommend a walk-around video, cold-start and a driving video.
