1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 Fastback | Shelby Attitude, Fastback Style — Tour & Drive
Some workdays involve spreadsheets. Mine occasionally involve a 1968 Shelby GT350 Fastback. I’m pretty comfortable with that career decision. I filmed this tour and drive for its Bring a Trailer auction presentation. Getting up close with cars like this is why I happily drag camera gear across the country: there’s always another detail to appreciate, another piece of history to learn, and another reason to spend far too long looking at a Mustang. The Shelby name gets your attention. The little details keep it. Here’s a closer look before this one heads into its next chapter.

I travel nationwide creating automotive auction photography and films that show off the details, capture the character, and make your car look every bit as special as it is. You handle the keys.

1965 Chevrolet Corvette | A Shape Worth Staring At — Tour & Drive
A 1965 Corvette is a very effective way to turn “I’ll just get one more shot” into a scheduling problem. This tour and drive was filmed for its Bring a Trailer auction presentation—another stop in a job that sends me around the country meeting cars I used to admire in magazines. Getting to study those shapes through a camera, learn what makes each car interesting, and put together its presentation still hasn’t gotten old. I have a weakness for bright paint, but great design gets me every time. This Corvette makes a pretty convincing case. Take a look around. Stay for the drive. Filmed by Jordan Cole | Trust in the Machine https://www.trustinthemachine.com ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Your car deserves better than driveway photos and a thumb over the lens. I create gorgeous auction presentations with carefully crafted photography, cinematic films, and an automotive obsession that borders on a personality disorder. Available nationwide—because the right car is always worth the trip.

2023 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS600 | Luxury Without Restraint — Tour
The 2023 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 makes a compelling argument that getting there should be at least as comfortable as staying there. I’m happy to document the evidence. I created this video for the car’s Bring a Trailer auction presentation. I get to spend my workdays studying the cars, shapes, and details I used to admire on magazine pages. Somehow, that arrangement still hasn’t gotten old. Filmed by Jordan Cole | Trust in the Machine https://www.trustinthemachine.com ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ You’ve put the care into the car. I’ll put it into the presentation.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette L84 327/360 Fuelie | 327/360 Fuelie, Up Close — Tour & Drive
A 1963 Corvette Fuelie is the kind of automotive history lesson I can get behind. No classroom required; just a camera and a serious problem with knowing when to stop shooting. This tour was filmed for a Bring a Trailer auction presentation. I love the travel, but the real reward is getting time with each car: looking closely, learning something new, and making a film that gives its character room to come through.

1970 Jeep Jeepster Commando | Old-School Jeep Character — Tour & Drive
A 1970 Jeep Jeepster Commando is the kind of assignment that appeals to both my automotive obsession and my inability to leave a good road unexplored. There are worse combinations. I created this video for the car’s Bring a Trailer auction presentation. I get to spend my workdays studying the cars, shapes, and details I used to admire on magazine pages. Somehow, that arrangement still hasn’t gotten old. Filmed by Jordan Cole | Trust in the Machine https://www.trustinthemachine.com ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ You’ve put the care into the car. I’ll put it into the presentation. I travel nationwide creating striking automotive photography and cinematic auction films, with careful attention to the details that make your car worth a second look. Gorgeous cars deserve gorgeous presentations. Let’s make your car the one they remember: https://www.trustinthemachine.com More of my auction photography on Bring a Trailer: https://bringatrailer.com/member/trust-in-the-machine/ Subscribe and come along for the next shoot.
