I had the pleasure of shooting John Rhee’s new Mercedes Benz CLS55 the other month for cover of Performance Auto and Sound Magazine. The car built by Seattle area tuners Car Nutz Customs features a wealth of modifications. If the two-tone paint didn’t catch your attention, maybe the custom red carbon weave in the hood and the roof might.  I wish I could show you all the photos from the shoot, because the motor interior and audio is just as crazy as the exterior, and cleanly built. The car now resides in Southern California with the rest of John’s aresenal of cars, which I’ll be shooting next weekend!

Stay tuned for more featured work to come!

If you’re visiting this site and things seem out of place, not lined up correctly, or just plain funky, it’s because we’re building and testing Version 7.

So consider this site a Work In Progress as you navigate through it. If you happen to find glitches, bugs, bad spacing, bad colors, missing pictures, please shoot me an email.
