Where it started....
Chasing cars and trucks around local
meets and shows.
My photography journey started around the same time the first iphone came out. I always enjoyed the smiles and faces of the owners as I eagerly showed them what I could create rapidly with my iPhone, leading me to be known for rapid edits and an overwhelming positive attitude.
Over time, friends essentially bullied me into buying a real camera so I could showcase my talents. I was then able to really take my game up a notch and deliver the best product to not only my friends but also all other vehicle owners and the support I received was overwhelming.
At the start, the support I received from a man I considered a brother, Gerard Lloyd, was unreal. He was instrumental in helping me get started and making a concerted effort to get me to out of state shows so I could forge a name for myself. Coming from Ellicott City, MD and getting to experience all these out of state shows, really fueled my passion and dream to continue my photography specializing of course in the automotive field.
I caught the eyes of Casey Hunt with Diesels of NY and he quickly added me to the media team. I owe him a lot for my continued success and have pledged to do my best to make every one of his shows. The relationship we built forged my name into the industry as a legitimate option to create timeless memories and capture detailed shots of their vehicles.
In 2023 I had the opportunity to shoot and capture content for Battle of the Builds thanks to Liz and Tyler. It was an awesome experience, especially going to the show for the first time. It was a truck enthusiast's dream and a photographer's heaven. I’m beyond grateful for both of them and look forward to working with them again in 2024.

Key to all shows... fun and community
When the camera is in hand, let the games begin. I love documenting the passion that I have for trucks and other builds shared amongst all of you when you showcase your own personalized builds. Let's capture your passion and soak in what we both love to do.

DREAM
Two of the most influential people in my journey as a photographer that helped shape me into the photographer I am today and who I want to be in the future. Tucker Harris and Jonathan Daniels from Mach1 exemplify the best of standards in the industry they push the envelope forward on creativity and leave clients in awe with precision shots that bless covers of magazines. I owe them a lot their kindness and generosity towards me is something I’ll always cherish and I’m extremely blessed to call them some of my best friends.

If for whatever reason we end up at the shows and you have the opportunity to shoot with them, I would tell you to book with them over me 10 out of 10 days. Most people would not say that on their own website but those two deserve it all. Happy to continue to get better and one day maybe get to travel with them to some of the bigger shows and see more of the country.

I still remember my first time meeting Shane, it was at an indoor show a little over a year ago and I had him take a few photos and we maybe spoke a word or two. Now after countless shoots of my truck from shows or a time being scheduled shane has became a good friend of mine who I consider a very close friend. A shoot with shane is full of fun and always a good time he finds a way to make it fun and goes with it. When he finished up the photos he always pumps you up and gets you excited for them and he never misses👌 big reasoning behind the “hypeman media” because shane is the hypeman and forever will be!

A little over a year ago I booked my first photoshoot with Shane, I highly recommend it! Not only do you get top quality photography but you get even better people skills, communication and cooperation. Shane is called the “hype man” for good reason. I’ve never met someone like him, that from day one has hyped me up through everything. A friendship that all started from just some photos, Shane is now one of my closest friends and I can say a year later I’ve never seen him not get along with anyone who books with him and I’ve never seen anyone unhappy with the results they get. Take the opportunity to book a shoot, you won’t regret it!

I have had photos done by Shane many times and he has never disappointed. Not only is he talented behind the lens, but he is the most humble guy you will ever meet in the truck industry. His specialty is automotive pictures, but he has even included my fur child in them to make them even more special. I would recommend anyone to shoot with the Hypeman himself because he is a photographer worth supporting!
