Have you gone full time with this now?

I think if I could quit my job and do photography full time, I would.

I need to learn how you successfully did this!

Congratulations, and keep up the great work!

It's tough. I'd have to be doing about 10x what I do now to make it a comfortable full time gig. Thats...a lot of shooting, a lot of time away from home and a shit ton of editing. It's a fantastic secondary income type deal that I can do in what free time I have. The practice I'm getting right now is worth more than the monetary gain. Where I'm at right now I'm not really having to hustle, which is good. I don't want to be the photog that 'chases the race.' I planted seeds in several very high end car communities and am just watching it grow and waiting for emails. Couldn't do that if I depended on it to pay bills. I'm still a small fry though, no one knows me or my work. I also live within DFW which houses several major players in the automotive game...Pepper Yandell being one of them & I'm pretty sure the Bible is written about him.

I dunno...Long story short, if you spend $100k plus on a car you've worked your whole life to obtain, you want that shit on your wall in the form of a framed print. It's a good market, I've driven stupid nice cars, met fantastic people, made life long friends and I'm not shooting 2000 pics of wedding cake every weekend. It'll be interesting to see what happens in a year from now.

Once the pressure come off of getting to the location, getting the car in position, setting up your lighting and turning the camera on...everything else goes away. It's like a switch is flipped and all else vanishes. It's just you, a Scuderia, and a camera...until security or police comes to kick you out

Just barely missed a CLA45 this morning. It turned in front of me before I realized it was an AMG. Preceded by a RR Phantom.
