šŸ”„ BUILT BY HAND. PAINTED WITH LIGHT. DELIVERED WITH HEART. šŸ”„

This is more than a car. This is years of obsession, fabrication, and incredible craftsmanship brought to life in one spectacular metal masterpiece.

A custom-built 1966 Chevy Nova, created from the ground up by for longtime client Mr. Clay. Every panel. Every stitch of leather. Every ounce of that deep, blood-red paintā€¦ all handcrafted. Big. Loud. Fast. And absolutely unforgettable.

To celebrate the completion of this incredible build, Joe & Amanda Martin surprised Mr. Clay with a 3-foot-wide metal print of this light-painted artwork, captured inside the Martin Bros Texas shop. I spent hours shooting hundreds of images, layering light, shape, and detail into one final piece worthy of the car
Huge thanks to Joe & Amanda for the opportunity, the trust, and the continued collaborations. I canā€™t wait to capture what rolls out of the shop next.

šŸ Hereā€™s to many years of hard driving and proud ownership, Mr. Clay.

Light painting a white car is never easy ā€” white shows everything and can be finicky to work with. When you add those bold red details though, the whole car comes alive šŸ”„

This piece was created for a second-generation client, which made the shoot even more meaningful. The real reward ? Incorporating grandmaā€™s small coachman statue into the artwork ā€” a personal touch that absolutely made the show and meant the world to the client.

This is why I love what I do: turning horsepower, heritage, and personal history into a single frame.

What detail do you notice first? šŸ‘€

Bright lights. Midnight steel. Pure American grit. šŸ”„šŸš”āœˆļø

Sometimes my work takes me to places that are far more than just a photograph.Ā Ā Such was the case on this cold December night in .Ā Ā These two arenā€™t just built ā€” theyā€™re earned. One belongs to a former state trooper, gravely injured in the line of duty. The other to a proud U.S. . Service, sacrifice, and strength are etched into every line and reflection you see and creating this art under that night sky, in front of that perfect red garage, was an absolute honor. Every sweep of light was done with respect ā€” not just for the machines, but for the men behind them who answered the call to serveā€¦

This is more than automotive art.
This is in motion. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ”„

šŸ”„ Get Lit with true American muscle! šŸ”„

Creating this lightpainting featuring a 1971 Chevy Chevelle powered by a beastly LS3 was an absolute rush. Shot in the dark Georgia night and squeezed into a tight-as-it-gets space, every streak of light had to be intentionalā€”no room for error, all room for creativity.

The payoff?
A glowing, electrified portrait of a beast that refuses to be ignored. The owners were over the moon, and honestlyā€¦ so am I.

Thereā€™s nothing like turning darkness into artā€”one spark at a time. āš”šŸš—āœØ

šŸ”„ Lighting up the North Georgia night! šŸ”„
Had an absolute blast creating this light-painting masterpiece for Dave & Deb, featuring their stunning Chevy show truck. We turned a quiet mountain night into a canvas of color, steel, and pure creative energy.

Thereā€™s nothing like watching a beautiful machine come alive under long-exposure magic. Thanks again, Dave and Deb, for trusting me to bring your vision to life!

Itā€™s time for a new celebrity piece! Get Lit Creativeā€™s most recent project features the 1965 built by Joe Martin and his crew from and the series ā€œIron Resurrectionā€. Joe and his wife Amanda () were awesome to work with and absolutely the sweetest people. For those of you who knowā€¦ yes - Blue was there too and sheā€™s super sweet!!!!

This piece was shot near their Johnson City Texas shop inside the confines of a very eclectic property.
Over 300 images were captured to create this stunning artwork that includes not only Joeā€™s beautiful Catalina but the old farm tractor, a classic motorcycle, various gas station bits and one very cool remote-control fire engine!!

The final results were printed on a 3-foot wide sheet of aluminum and will hang in their shopā€¦

Check out their YouTube channel for all their work and maybe youā€™ll catch a glimpse of the artwork hanging!

My thanks to Joe and Amanda Martin and their crew for prepping the cars we worked with in the midst of their busy schedules! They also do tours of their shop if you happen to be in Johnson City and if you do go, say hi to Blue for me!
