I'm always looking to add more to my skill-set. So when I heard that the new Canon 5d Mark II was able to shoot HD video as well as 21.1 megapixel photos, I ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/12/automotive-photography/canon-5d-mark-ii-sample-movie-and-photos-mazdaspeed-3/ I was pretty busy bouncing from press conference to press conference at the 2008 L.A. autoshow. I didn't cover the Nissan press conference but having previously owned a 350Z I had to check out the newest incarnation of the Z car, the 2009 Nissan 370Z. My first reaction was, "What ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/12/automotive-photography/2008-la-autoshow-coverage-2009-nissan-370z-still-no-turbo/ You may remember Mel's 350z from the photos I took back in August. Click here to see his photoshoot I first spotted his car while roaming the halls of SEMA at 2am, gotta love that 24hr All Access Pass. I recognized the rims first and then the kit. But what ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/11/automotive-photography/sema-show-coverage-rommel-jimenezs-350z-spotted-at-the-tokico-booth/ While walking the north hall of the SEMA show l stumbled upon my old friends from Motevo Mobile.  It was cool seeing my photography on posters that Nikita was signing.  Which reminds me, I still need to call Mike up for a signed poster.  I took a few shots of ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/11/automotive-photography/sema-show-coverage-motevo-mobile-booth/ Mike from Motevo Mobile asked me to shoot his car for a poster that Nikita will be signing and handing out at SEMA this year.

Not to mention it'll be cool ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/10/automotive-photography/photoshoot-motevo-lexus-and-nikita-esco-poster/ I just wanted to explain the recent lack of updates to my site.

I was basically paid to photograph and ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/10/automotive-photography/laid-off-down-but-definitely-not-out/ I had the opportunity to shoot Tyler’s Daytona Blue Nissan 350Z last week. He drove all the way from Temecula, Ca so the pressure was on again to make his trip worthwhile. I didn’t want him to drive all the way out here just to shoot in a parking garage ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/09/automotive-photography/photoshoot-daytona-blue-nissan-350z-owner-tyler-klee/ The Nissan GT-R is back and I want one. Ask any car enthusiast about the GT-R and the majority of them will say the same. With insane twin-turbo V-6 power, edgy looks, and a cult-like following rivaling that of the Beatles, the 2009 Nissan GT-R lives up to the hype. A ... http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/09/automotive-photography/photoshoot-2009-nissan-gt-r/ Shooting in a studio is something I'm still very new to. It's worlds different from shooting on location.
