I’m Damian. I make pictures of cars: static, rolling, and the people spending their weekends underneath them.

Started showing up to local meets with a borrowed camera in 2019 and never quite stopped. The work is half feature shoots, half street/meet reportage, and a small but growing pile of editorial commissions for the brands and magazines who want their cars treated like the slow, considered objects they are.

I take a small number of paid commissions a month — feature builds, brand campaigns, event coverage, and the occasional portrait session for someone who’s lived inside a project for years and wants the photographs to match. If that sounds like your next car, write.
