While automotive photography is my specialty, I also do other styles such as landscape, and general hobby photography; really anything I find interesting.

Here's some really nice hydrophobic properties on display from the Adam's Graphene Spray Ceramic Coating applied to my car. I'm going to do my best to keep track of the progress of it over time. It's supposed to last upwards of 12+ months with frequent washes and upkeep, so theoretically it should last until next summer but we'll see. It definitely does act a lot nicer than I expected from a Spray Ceramic, so I do have hopes for it to last a good bit as well.

Some more in progress shots of my polish on my car. I was so focused on getting this done before my deadline that I totally didn't even take decent pictures of the finished result so these will have to do. The car all around, but mainly on the roof and hood, had really bad water etching from letting hard water dry and bake in over the years. I'd say I was able to get the paint to maybe 70%-ish, which was a good enough result for me. After the 2 step paint correction I put on a layer of Adam's Graphene Spray Ceramic Coating. It was really easy to apply, and left a really glossy and slick finish. At the end of things, I was super happy with how this came out.

Had to take a minute for a little breakdance on the mirror-like finish of my car as I polished it 😎😂

Some progress shots from my current project. I'll be practicing my paint correction on my own car, doing a 2 step process of cutting, and then finishing. So far I've only done the roof, hood and both lefthand doors with the cutting stage over the weekend. I'm hoping to have everything done and coated with a spray ceramic coating before Friday when I leave for a car show. Might have to pull some extra late hours 😬

Side note, the left rear door was previously resprayed before I got it, and it's always been dull and not shiny, I'm very excited to finish everything so I can see, and show the final results of it because so far it's a huge difference.

Some photos I took recently of my own personal vehicle. Just a reminder that I also mess around with photography, so if you're a fellow car enthusiast who puts a lot of pride into your vehicle, and would like to have it posted up like the art piece it is, hit me up and let's work something out 🙂

These are some very different styles to my usual photography work. I love abandoned things and I love the grungy and macabre. This is what came of that.

Trying my hand with light painting here. I also dabble in photography when I get the chance, mostly when I feel that spark of creativity. I've never tried light painting before, or doing this style of photo, but I loved how these turned out. The way the light hits the car, the reflections, it just looks so real. Oh yea... this isn't a real car... 🤭 it's a 1:18 scale model by AutoArt.

This time 'round the subject was my second personal vehicle that is my daily driver. It is subjected to daily gravel driving, and sitting in dust clouds for 8 hours a day every day. It hasn't been washed I think since the start of the previous winter season, and it's never been hand washed in the 3 years I owned it, so it was definitely time.

This was just a fairly straightforward foam, rinse, clean wheels/rinse, foam, hand wash, rinse, spray sealant and rinse, and then tire shine. Nothing too special since it is my daily driver and the paint isn't too great as it is, but it was looking a lot better (save for the bad body/paint work) than before.

Next up will be the interior as it's been more than long enough since I last did it, and it's very dusty and gross for my liking.

If you have a dirty vehicle, or even if you want to give it a little pick-me-up and keep it looking fresh, shout me a message, text or call and we can get your vehicle looking fresh as it deserves!

I then cleaned the wheels and tires, and added some tire shine, which I've never used before as I have never really liked the shiny, clean tire look. I've always thought it made cars look unused, and simply just show pieces. It has definitely grown on me, and I can see why people enjoy it. It really is just that little extra 'oomph' to bring the whole vehicle together.

For a final detail, I went over it with Adam's Graphene Detail Spray. This is more meant for a topper to an existing Graphene Ceramic Coating, but can be used as a limited sealant and gloss enhancer to a non coated vehicle. I expect very little durability out of it, but it sure does look great, and makes the paint incredibly slick to the touch.

I've not done too many engine bays as it can be quite a daunting task, but it's so worth it any time I do. This one, which is my personal car, was a bit dirty and not up to my standards, so a quick clean and detail later and it was looking a lot better.

I used my IK foam sprayer and worked a sectionat a time with a brush. Rinsed, and then used CarPro Reload on painted surfaces, and CarPro Perl on the rubber and plastic surfaces. I think it turned out really well. I sometimes don't always notice at the time, but in comparison shots, it's really incredible how a gloss enhancer sealant, and trim protectant can really make things pop.

Howdy howdy! I've come up with some packages and pricing for my services, so here they are!

Disclaimer that these very well may change over time, but this is what I'm offering for now. Also another disclaimer, I currently cannot fulfill exterior details, as I have to overhaul my plumbing system, but if there is interest before then, just toss me a message or call for what you'd want and I can jump right on it as soon as I'm up and running! So for now it's just interior only.

I'm also not yet offering paint correction or any form of ceramic coating, as I need to build up my skill set and confidence with that, but it is in my plans to offer that further down the road. Side note, if you are at all interested, I would absolutely love some practice pieces where I can practice and hone my skills on! Whether it's a panel you have just sitting around, or a daily driver that could use some loving and can only benefit from even a novice paint correction, feel free to hit me up! I can and will offer heavily discounted rates for paint correction to a vehicle with the personal knowledge that it may or may not be top quality.

I can also offer automotive photography. It is not my focus, and I haven't yet made a poster for that yet, but if that is something that interests you, let me know and see if we can work something out!

I'm really looking forward to giving your vehicles a refresh, and helping them be loved all over again 💙💛
