Now, you’re probably asking yourself, “Jean-Noel, why are you taking photos of STOCK cars?”

If you have ever talked to me about cars, the first thing I will tell you is to change the wheels, and lower it. When siblings Jessica and John Edward (J.E.) contacted me for a shoot, I knew exactly how I wanted it to go…

These cars might not be a volkswagen like I usually shoot, or part of the stanced / hellaflush movement which I follow, but I was very excited to shoot for them. To me, this shoot represents determination, perseverance, hard-work, and success.

Jess & J.E. are not only siblings, they are also business partners. They purchased their vehicles through the labor of their home business, working adamantly for the past two years. Now they’re looking to purchase their first homes, and not to forget, have also been asking me to help them find new summer wheels. Did I mention that they’re in their mid-twenties?

The shoot itself was shot at my “secret location” (which you might have already seen in a few of my previous photos), and the day seemed very promising, with the start of a sunny morning. Driving to the shoot, I was getting a bit nervous since it started to get cloudy, and that I wouldn’t be able to deliver what I had expected of myself. And as a photographer, you have to be very good at hiding that from your clients…

Luckily, these two have been my good friends for many years, and I am very happy and proud of their success. They are probably the most giving people you will ever meet, and I know that they will reach any and all goals that they set for themselves.
