Default Houston Automotive Photography

Hey guys! Just wanted to take a second to introduce myself. My name is Theo and I'm an automotive photographer working out of Houston, Texas. It would be great to meet a few of you and set up some photoshoots, so feel free to PM me with any ideas you may have!

Looking forward to posting on stanceworks often, seems like a great forum.

Here are a few samples of my work. If you'd like to see more, you can visit my website at:

Thanks!

Theo

I will! Here are a few from a recent set:

Here are a few shots of a recent shot featuring (Fraternal) Twin 1968 Shelby Cobra GT500's, a 1931 Cord LaGrande Speedster and a 1908 Buick Model "S"!

If you'd like to see the rest of the set as well as a video of my processing, you can check out my blog. All the cars were in great shape. I wish I could have had a little more creative liberty with the photos, but this is what the client wanted. Oh well!

1968 Shelby Cobra GT500 KR Fastback

The green fastback is a Cobra Jet model with the 428 cubic inch engine that produces nearly 400 horsepower, it was no slouch. I was actually able to ride from the shoot location back in this Mustang and can attest that it is a monster. With its loose steering and an iffy suspension it was probably best to keep it in a straight line, haha.























1968 Shelby GT500 Cobra Convertible

Similar to its green brother, this GT500 also had a 428 cubic inch V8. With a less restrictive exhaust, it started with a loud bark, shaking the entire body side to side like a wet dog before settling into an uneven idle complete with a few pops. When revved, it sounded like an outboard boat motor, deep, burbly and metallic.

While driving it to the shoot location, it became apparent that the steering was a little bit rusty, having not been used in years. It was pretty funny to watch the driver saw at the wheel repeatedly just to stay in his lane, with the wheels barely responding to his commands. As with the previous GT500, it's best driven in a straight line only. With a 4:11 rear end, this car was built for the quarter mile, and revs were up to 4,000 on the freeway in 4th gear.




















1931 Cord L-29 Front Drive LaGrande Speedster

This Cord was one of the most beautiful and striking cars I've ever shot. It is literally impossible to take a bad photograph of this car. Think your car is VIP? check out the in-door humidor and bar...





















1908 Buick Model "S" Tourabout

It still starts up today and rolls smoothly as ever - a testament to build quality of the day. The brass accessories on the car are beautiful, and it's awesome to see it side by side with a '68 GT500!

I recently was hired by a client to take some shots of him lapping his Z06 around MSR Houston's track. There were some other great cars there as well, and it turned out to be a lot of fun! Here are a few samples of the photos, but if you'd like to see more photos and read more info about the track day, you can always check out my Blog



















The Dodge Viper ACR-X









The Mustang Boss 302-S

I was visiting a shop yesterday that I've done some automotive work for in the past. They were currently working on a 1982 Posche 911 Turbo & 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500, and I asked if I could take a photo.

You can see a time-lapse video of my processing and more information on the shoot on my blog!

This was a quick cell phone shot so you can see the lighting as it was in actuality.



Here's what I came up with using different exposures and light painting with my speedlights.

Shots taken for a client over the weekend. Extensive work done to this Porsche by FabSpeed and TechArt, and it is now pushing out somewhere around 700HP. It is scary, scary fast, lol.

You can see more photos, a short video and get more info about the Porsche on my blog!

This wedding was a multicultural event with members of the bride and groom's family coming in from Mexico, Germany and other parts Europe! The groom's cake had some awesome details as well. I loved the venue because it had a big wooden gate that reminded me of the entrance to Jurassic Park, haha. You can see more photos and read more about the day on my blog!

Some shots taken for a client a few weeks ago. This was #32 of only 1,501 Firehawks built, and it was in mint condition!
