        First of all I apologize for being absent for so long.

        I never considered myself a ‘professional’ photographer but now I guess I became one when I started to shoot pictures for a local car dealer. The first thing I realized is that 99% of dealer photos are very bad. Most of the photos on sites like Autotrader and Cars.com are just terrible so I decided to raise the bar.

        I am not a artsy car photographer or one who does magazine shots (although I would like to), but I am a ‘commercial’ photographer for the auto sales business. Here are some of my shots. Tell me if you think they are not a lot better then most you see on CarGuru.

            Love the shot of the red car Steve, but both shots are good, and better than the average Autotrader photo!

                Yup – a LOT better. In fact, if you measured how many more calls a listing gets from your photos, you could probably charge a lot more for it. 😉
