Rob's first car was a Mustang. Today, he's the guy photographing the most expensive, rarest, and most modified cars at SEMA.

The gap between "kid with a Mustang" and "professional automotive photographer at the world's biggest car show" is wider than most people realize. It's not just about getting a good camera—it's about understanding car culture deeply enough that you know which angle tells the real story.

SEMA isn't just a car show. It's where automotive dreams get documented for the world to see. Rob has a backstage pass to all of it.

In this episode, Rob reveals:
- How his first Mustang shaped his eye for automotive photography
- What it's really like being an automotive photographer at SEMA (access, challenges, pinch-me moments)
- The car at SEMA that stopped him in his tracks—and why
- Photography techniques specific to automotive work that don't apply to other subjects
- How to turn car passion into a paying career (his actual path, no sugar-coating)
- The build quality details that separate Instagram cars from SEMA-worthy builds
- Why some car owners understand photography and others fight you the whole way

Plus: Rob shares the one SEMA moment he almost didn't photograph because he was too busy staring. Good thing he snapped out of it.
