Waiting For the Sun to Come Down

My new photography book is all about cars, dramatic light, and shadows.

I am thrilled to announce my new photography book, Waiting For the Sun to Come Down, published by Carrara Media. It's filled with more than 75 different cars, over 125 pages, and an absolutely unhinged amount of black shadows. It arrives this fall in a hardcover 10”x10” format.

Waiting For the Sun to Come Down falls in a weird space between car book and art book. I shoot a lot of cars for hire, but these are the images I shoot for me. As a collection, I think these photos reward longer viewing in a more substantial format than on a web browser or on a phone screen.

So, in my personal work, I’ve gravitated towards creating images that are more ambiguous than traditional automotive photography. Scenes where the automotive subject is somehow hidden, or abstracted, or blurred. I still aim to create a beautiful image, but one that works because of the shapes, colors, and setting that I’ve chosen — something that’s an arrangement that I’ve composed, rather than simply, “here is an expensive car.”

The scenes I find the most fulfilling to shoot are ones exploring an interplay between cars and shadows. And that’s what this book is: cars in natural light, shot as dramatically as possible.

This has been an amazing process, it’s been a lot of work, but I am so proud to be releasing this out into the world. If you like my work, or if you like cars, or photography, I think you’ll like this book.
