Capture in the shop
Teardown, fabrication, paint, assembly, first start and roll-out—captured in rhythm with the floor while the crew keeps moving.
Los Angeles · Automotive content and account management
Your shop already makes the content. I capture it and turn it into a social program that stays active.
I shoot the real work on your floor, edit the photos and videos, write every caption, and publish directly to your accounts across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X and Threads—including the ones I set up for you. Websites, SEO content marketing and local search are available as add-ons.

01 / Services
One person, from the bay to the live account.
The same person who sees the work shoots it, edits it, writes it, schedules it, and publishes it. Your shop gets original content, a consistent publishing rhythm and hands-on account management—not a folder of files and another job to manage.
01 / 10
Edit photos and videos
Reels, carousels and finished stills cut from the same visits, plus off-site beauty shoots when a vehicle is ready.
Write every caption
I turn the actual work and build details into clear captions grounded in the shop's expertise and point of view.
Schedule and publish
I run the content calendar and publish directly across the shop's approved social accounts, with each platform getting the format and timing that suit it.
Manage the accounts
Management continues between posts: I respond to comments and messages, monitor mentions, surface real enquiries, and interact through the shop's account.
Shoot finished vehicles
Sunrise, sunset and location shoots scheduled around the vehicles that are genuinely ready. Included on every program.
Document the builds
Arrival through handover, dated and organized. Records the shop, the customer and the next owner all end up wanting.
Build custom websites
I design and develop responsive shop websites from scratch, including project galleries, clear service pages, analytics and credential handoff.
Write SEO content
I turn real shop knowledge into technical blogs, buyer guides, case studies and project pages built around the questions customers actually search.
Strengthen local search
I handle the on-page structure, internal links, metadata and local-search foundation that help the right pages get found.
Your existing accounts stay yours. You keep ownership and control, and I publish inside the access you approve.
Your content and website stay yours. You own the photos, finished edits and raw originals I create, plus the website code, content and credentials I deliver.

The shop keeps moving. So does the account.
One person carries the context from the bay through the caption and the final post.
I flow with the shop
Routine capture stays consistent; beauty shoots happen when the vehicle is actually ready.
I manage the existing accounts
You approve the access and working voice. I handle the calendar, captions and direct publishing.
I own the whole workflow
You work directly with me from the shoot schedule through editing, captions, publishing, replies and performance.
05 / Engagement
Choose a publishing rhythm that can stay consistent.
The core is an ongoing social program: recurring capture, editing, captions, direct publishing and account management. SEO content marketing and website management can extend the same work beyond the feed.
Daily social program
One post every weekday
One post every weekday. Recurring shop capture, photos, video, editing, captions, scheduling and direct publishing across your platforms. Finished-vehicle shoots included.
Twice-daily social program
One reel and one photo or carousel, Mon–Fri
One reel and one photo or carousel, Monday–Friday. The rhythm I run for ASC 4x4. Two half-days a week in the shop, sunrise and sunset shoots whenever a vehicle is finished, and the builds documented as they happen.
Social, SEO and website
The full program, plus search and site
Everything in the twice-daily program, plus technical articles, on-page SEO, analytics and ongoing website content management.
Custom website build
A complete shop-owned site
One-time. Responsive design and development, service and project pages, galleries, analytics, local-search setup and full credential handoff. The site is yours.
Finished-vehicle shoots are included on every program, and the content mix moves with the shop—process, detail, customer stories, testimonials and completed work—varied deliberately so the feed keeps people watching. Scope and cost are set per shop.

What owners usually want to know
How does capture fit into the workday?
The shop keeps moving while I work around the job in the bay. When a finished vehicle deserves a dedicated beauty shoot, we choose a separate location and the right light.
Who is the social service for?
Automotive shops that already post and want stronger original content, consistent publishing and hands-on management.
How does account access work?
For management, I work through approved account access and publish directly. Your shop retains ownership and control of every account.
Who keeps the photographs and footage?
You own every photo, finished edit and raw original I create for the shop.
What can you handle beyond the social program?
Custom website design and development, SEO content marketing, technical blogs, local-search foundations, analytics, build documentation and finished-vehicle campaigns.
How do you scope an ongoing program?
We choose a weekly publishing cadence, confirm shop access and approvals, then define which social, SEO and website responsibilities belong in the ongoing scope.
07 / Direct
Talk me through your shop.
Tell me what is moving through your shop, which accounts are already active and how often you want to publish. I will scope the ongoing social program and any SEO content marketing, website management, documentation or finished-vehicle work that belongs with it.
