Classic Car Collection
Classic Car Collection • Kearney, Nebraska
In February 2023, we were commissioned by The Steffes Group for an ambitious project - photographing 140 classic cars at The Classic Car Collection Museum in Kearney, Nebraska, ranging from the late 1800s to the mid-1970s, with just three days to complete the shoot. Under the leadership of Jaikeb Lawrence, our founder and lead automotive photographer, we devised a plan for seamless collaboration between the two companies to ensure success.
With the assistance of about 10 skilled staff members from Steffes and a remote-controlled turntable, we completed the shoot in three 10-hour days, leaving no detail unphotographed. Almost 40,000 photos were taken and culled to a final number of 21,480. The completed catalogs were assembled and then edited meticulously, a process that lasted until the end of April, just in time for the sale scheduled for June 2023. At Luxe Vision, we are committed to providing exceptional automotive photography services, even in the most challenging circumstances, and delivering the highest-quality results to our clients.
