Top Gear America
Oppurtunity of a Lifetime
Every creative, entrepreneur, or professional has that one dream gig—the opportunity that feels like it was tailor-made for their skills, vision, and passion. It’s the kind of project or position that doesn’t just pay well but also validates years of effort, proving that all the hard work, sacrifice, and persistence were worth it. As a photographer, especially in an industry where connections and reputation mean everything, landing a gig with a production of this scale was beyond anything I had imagined.
BBC America Takes a Chance on Me.
Top Gear isn’t just any show; it’s a cultural icon, a powerhouse in automotive entertainment. That experience changed everything. It wasn’t just another gig—it was the gig, the one that proved to me that I belonged in this space. It opened doors, broadened my vision, and solidified my belief that sometimes, when the right people believe in you, all you have to do is step up and deliver.
Landing the Top Gear America behind-the-scenes gig with BBC America was the turning point in my career. It wasn’t just a job—it was a stamp of credibility, a signal to the industry that I could deliver at the highest level. The exposure and experience from working on such a high-profile production opened doors I never imagined. It led to new collaborations, bigger projects, and a growing network of clients who trusted me to capture their vision. More than anything, it gave me the confidence to fully step into my role as a professional photographer, knowing that I had what it took to compete in a world where opportunities like this are rare. That one chance became the foundation for everything that followed.
