Professional Car Photography in the Monterey Peninsula

I provide professional car photography for auction sites, enthusiasts, collectors, dealers, and automotive brands throughout Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach, and the surrounding area. My automotive photography focuses on clean composition, flattering natural light, and thoughtful angles that highlight design, craftsmanship, and personality — whether the subject is a classic car, modern performance vehicle, or something truly unique. Shoots are relaxed, collaborative, and done on location, allowing each car to be photographed in an environment that complements its character and tells its story.

Creative Car Photography and Online Car Auction Photography Pricing

Professional Car Auction Photography for Bring a Trailer, Bonhams, Mecum & RM Sotheby’s

Strategic, detail-driven photography designed to attract bidders and maximize sale value

Car Auction Photography

I offer professional car auction photography specifically tailored for online auction platforms such as Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, and other major automotive auction houses. These platforms require a very specific set of images — from detailed exterior angles and interiors to engine bays, undercarriage views, and close-ups of condition and modifications. With experience photographing vehicles for multiple auction sites, I understand exactly what sellers and bidders want to see, and I work methodically to create a complete, honest, and visually compelling photo set that helps cars stand out and perform well during bidding.

Professional photography is a critical part of a successful listing on Bring a Trailer and other high-end car auction platforms. Clear, consistent, high-resolution images build trust with bidders and highlight condition, craftsmanship, and unique details that directly impact interest and final sale price. Having photographed vehicles for Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, and additional auction sites, I know how to deliver the full image sets these platforms expect — helping sellers present their vehicles professionally and competitively.

Personal Car Photography for Enthusiasts in California

Because your car is more than transportation — it’s something you connect with

Personal Car Photography

Personal car photography is about slowing down and appreciating the details — the lines, textures, and personality that make your car yours. These photo shoots are relaxed, collaborative, and focused on creating images you genuinely enjoy looking at, whether that’s a classic you’ve owned for years or a car that represents a milestone in your life. I work with enthusiasts throughout Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach, and across California to photograph cars in locations that complement their character and story.

These images are perfect for sharing with fellow enthusiasts, displaying at home or in an office, including with your car at shows, or simply enjoying as a personal record of ownership. Many clients choose to turn their favorite images into fine art prints or use them as part of their digital collection. If you love your car enough to stop and look back at it after you park, personal car photography gives you a way to keep that feeling long after the engine is off.

Car Portrait Photography

You and your car — photographed together, inside and out

Car Portrait Photography for Monterey Areas and California

Car portrait photography brings the focus back to the relationship between you and your car. These sessions are designed to capture both — portraits of you with the vehicle, as well as thoughtful details of the car itself — creating a complete visual story. Whether it’s a lifelong passion project, a recently acquired dream car, or something tied to a meaningful moment in your life, car portraits are collaborative, relaxed, and tailored to reflect your personality as much as the vehicle’s design.

Car portraits are perfect for commemorating ownership milestones, sharing within enthusiast communities, displaying at car shows, or creating fine art prints for home or office. Many clients appreciate having images that show them as part of the story, not just the car alone. If your car represents time, effort, passion, or achievement, a car portrait session turns that connection into something you can see, share, and enjoy long after the drive is over.

Car Club and Car Show Photography

Event photography for car clubs, rallies, Monterey Car Week, and automotive gatherings

Car Club & Car Show Photography for Monterey Car Week and Beyond

Car club and car show photography isn’t just about photographing cars — it’s about capturing the passion, people, and electrifying energy that make automotive events unforgettable. Here on the Monterey Peninsula, we are uniquely positioned in the center of Monterey Car Week, one of the biggest and most celebrated automotive events in the world, with exhibitions, rallies, and gatherings throughout Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Monterey. I photograph car shows, club meets, rallies, charity events, and automotive festivals, documenting standout vehicles as well as the candid interactions, enthusiast culture, and atmosphere that make these events special.

Professional event photography gives car clubs, organizers, and participants a powerful way to promote future meets, engage members, and preserve the story of their events — from local cruise-ins to the world-class excitement of Monterey Car Week. These images are ideal for social media, websites, newsletters, sponsorship outreach, and press coverage. Whether you’re hosting a charity run, a concours gathering, or a community club meet during Car Week or beyond, high-quality photography helps your event look polished, dynamic, and unforgettable — and gives participants images they’ll treasure and share long after the checkered flag drops.

Car Detail Photography

Highlighting the design, materials, and angles that make each car unique

Car Detail Photography

Car detail photography focuses on the elements that often matter most — interior materials, exterior finishes, mechanical components, badges, textures, and craftsmanship. While this is not offered as a standalone photo session, detailed imagery is a critical part of my car photography work and plays an important role across multiple types of shoots. These images are created as part of car auction photography, car club and car show coverage, and personal car photography, ensuring that every vehicle is documented thoroughly and thoughtfully.

Whether the goal is maximizing value on an auction listing, impressing judges and enthusiasts at a show, or simply celebrating the unique features of a car you care about, detail photography adds depth and credibility to the full story. Clean, well-composed close-ups help viewers understand condition, quality, and originality — and they often become the images people linger on the longest. From stitching and gauges to engine components and custom touches, detail photography completes the visual narrative of the car.
