Ancient history, is where you can browse the beginnings of my car photography. These images range from 1996 til 2005. The early years, I shot almost everything on 4x5 and very little of it has been scanned. As I come across more material I will be sure to post it here.

I started photography at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara California in 1994, and finished up and moved south to LA in 1996. In that same year I launched my first portfolio, in 8x10 transparencies as a part of a photographic collaboration called SKYRA. Besides magazines my first car shoot was with the designory in Long Beach, CA shooting an accessory catalog for Mercedes. From there, I did catalogs for Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, amongst others. In 2003, my collaboration with SKYRA came to an end, and I moved from LA to Barcelona, Spain. Since then, I have shot ads for the likes of Peugeot, Ford, Nissan, Citroen, Honda, Volkswagen as well as the launch catalog for the Seat Altea.
