Ice Metallic Green 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo

A Bring a Trailer Farewell: Capturing the Porsche 930 Turbo in Morning Light.

A friend with a rather large Porsche collection decided to start focusing strictly on air-cooled, early 911’s. So unfortunately, his two 930 Turbo’s had to go. He knew that I had a camera and asked if I was interested in shooting the car for a “Bring a Trailer” auction. Of course I jumped at the opportunity. We met early morning at a nearby church.

Looking back at this shoot years later, there are so many things I would have done differently. The rear of some of the shots are far too busy, 35mm is too wide to shoot the exterior, I could go on and on. But no matter what, 930’s are one of my favorite Porsches, and in this color, who cares what the photos look like?

I'd love to hear about your car and what you need — whether it's a Bring a Trailer listing, a private sale, a dealer lot or just a proper set of your build. No shoot is too small. A year, make, model and a rough timeline is enough to quote, and I answer email fast.
