I recently shot this rare 2000 Lotus 340R in Lakeway, TX, for an upcoming auction.

I recently had the chance to shoot this rare 2000 Lotus 340R for a future auction listing. We took it out in Lakeway, TX, for the photos.

This particular car is a fantastic example of the 340R, a low-production, track-focused machine. It’s built for purpose, with minimal bodywork and a clear focus on lightweight performance. It’s awesome how small and drilled in it is. Always fun to see a Lotus up close.

Erik was awesome. He communicated clearly before the shoot, was flexible in helping find the right location, and was great to work with throughout. The photos of my BMW E30 came out fantastic.

Erik helped immensely with beautiful photos, how to tips and some ideas to get eyeballs in my recent Bring a Trailer auction of my Singer. Will use him again!

I've worked with Erik twice now and it has possibly been the best business transaction I've ever had. I needed to sell an 80 Series Land Cruiser and a Range Rover Classic. Erik absolutely blew it out of the water...

Last year I auctioned a Porsche in a rare color that is difficult to capture well in photos (Macadamia Metallic). Erik's photos were outstanding.
