I had an interview with a certain unnamed big automotive manufacturer last week for a photographer position. Im trying to be realistic and downplay this in my mind but it would be so damn cool.

The job is shadowing designers and documenting the entire design process from sketches to clay to 1:1 models all the way to the auto show floor. I keep telling myself I won’t get the job, but shit I really want it.

If there’s anyone who should have a position as a photographer, it’s you. Treat yourself to a beer (or drink of choice), keep your chin up, and stay optimistic. The worst that could happen is they say no and you keep doing what you’re doing.

Cheers I really appreciate that! It’s surely been energizing just knowing that I’m in the running.

Takahiro Hachigo builds Acuras in his basement. That’s what I hear.

Good luck man, I actually brought you up for a job where we needed an outside photographer for my company out here in Michigan but they only wanted local bids.

It definitely seems like your calling.

I hope I don’t have to and you get this awesome new job.

But I of course will. Last time I passed your portfolio website over. Positive comments, was just a geographical issue.
