Capturing custom Mustangs, rare exotics, and modified car culture...Rob's first car was a no-frills 1986 Chevy Spectrum with crank windows and no radio. Today, he’s the guy photographing the most expensive, rarest, and most modified cars at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. 📸🏎️In this episode, we sit down with Rob, an automotive photographer and die-hard Mustang enthusiast, to explore the gap between "kid with a camera" and professional industry insider. Rob takes us behind the velvet ropes of SEMA, sharing stories of sneaking into drift tracks, spotting Riddler Award winners, and the wild reality of seeing $200,000 builds parked outside because the halls were too full.We also dive deep into his personal garage, including his 2018 Mustang EcoBoost daily driver (modified to look factory-perfect) and the emotional restoration of a 1968 Mustang Coupe that pays tribute to his grandmother’s lead-footed legacy.In this episode, you’ll hear:📸 SEMA Secrets: What it’s really like to cover the world's biggest aftermarket car show, from the "Golden Hour" shots to the chaos of the drift exhibition.🐎 The "Grandma" Mustang: The incredible story of Rob's grandmother crashing a 6-cylinder Mustang on ash-covered roads—and upgrading to a V8 because "more power would have saved it".📉 The Chevy Spectrum Era: Rob’s humble beginnings in a 1986 Chevy Spectrum that eventually lost its starter on the highway (leading to a very strategic "don't turn off the car" road trip).🔧 OEM+ Philosophy: Why Rob’s approach to modifying his 2018 EcoBoost Mustang is all about making it look like it should have come that way from the factory.📚 Cars & Media: A look at how books like Bob Lutz’s Car Guys vs. Bean Counters influence our understanding of the industry.Make sure you listen to Rob's favorite episode with Weber State University's team Mustang mods: https://buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/16548659Whether you're an aspiring automotive photographer, a Mustang loyalist, or just someone who loves a good story about a grandmother with a heavy right foot, this episode is picture-perfect.🔗 Links & Resources:Find your favorite in our 60+ episode archive: 🔗🌲https://linktr.ee/carsloved Check out our Guest-inspired Road Trip Playlist featured on Spotify: https://carsloved.com/playlist📢 Join the Conversation: What’s the most photogenic car you’ve ever seen?
