Taming the Widowmaker: A Moody Photoshoot of the Legendary Porsche 930 Turbo

Ever since a friend snagged this incredible 930 Turbo I’ve been wanting to take it out for a drive. I’ll be honest, I was nervous. When discussions take place around the 930, you’ll always hear the term “Widowmaker”. The cars were so much to handle, they had a reputation for killing the owners. That said, you’ll also hear from others how amazing they are to drive.

So, when Britton and Branson Hardcastle over at B Hardcastle Media asked me if they could test shoot a car, I saw a perfect opportunity. So while technically these aren’t my photos, I was there, assisting and offering advice when needed.

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.
