People that don't know me would probably be asking..

"Why are you changing your wheels with a 5DmarkII attached to a pole that is attached to your hood...."

Haha oh boy get ready..

Yep they're mine, I just don't ever use them because they're expensive as ***** and I live in philly. They would get scratched up/dented/stolen if I used them a lot.

What/why is the shot being taken is a secret for now..
This is just a small glimpse of the shoot..

Thanks!
19x9.5 WOrk VS-XX +23
245/35zr19 - it tucks but definitely rubs the inside of the front fender...

Yeah I usually have maybe 1 or 2 helpers that's it because people don't want to pay the $$$ for a big production shoot.
I think it's because a lot of other "pro's" are willing to shoot for free.. hah oh well

But anyways, sometimes I like to go all out, especially since it's my own car.
For this shoot I had
- 4 models
- 2 makeup artists
- 1 hair stylist
- 2 wardrobe people - provided stripper outfits!!

Can't say what the shoot is for until it's in print & official.
I don't even know if I can post the final shot online to show everyone.


Either way, it was really fun for everyone!
But a lot of work for me but I don't mind because it's my car.
