User submit: photographer Chrys Towne has one cool job (38 HQ Photos)

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 09:08 PM PDT

I am a 26 year old graduate from the University of Arizona with a degree in Economic Development. After graduation I landed a great job at a high end resort in Sedona, AZ where I was able to get behind the wheel of my first Ferrari. I thought that will never happen again. Then hardship in the family brought me south to Scottsdale, AZ where I had no idea what I should do for work. I found an ad on craigslist that just called out to car lovers. I thought this is too fake, but what the hell and applied. First day of training I found myself behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo! Its now been over a year.  The job is to photograph and upload photos to our websites and manually add the options for each car using factory build sheets. They refer to us as the Photo/Data Collection Team (there are 4 of us, well 3 right now as we look for a 4th). On property we have VW, Acura, MINI, Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, Audi, BMW, and Porsche. We split the dealerships up according to volume so we all have equal work to do. I currently control Porsche, BMW, Lambo, Rolls, Aston, Bugatti (we have never had one for sale though, just demo cars for events) and Bentley/Luxury Pre-Owned. I used to have Audi, but gave that one up for BMW and Porsche. We do have a system that we have to follow in order to keep all the dealerships websites looking consistent and neat. We do exteriors on the checkered pad and interiors in the shade in front of the Racing Museum/Cafe (glass building pictured in most of the photos). Because we are limited to a certain space and format, my pictures are all generally the same style. Majority of these photos are "extras" that I take for my own records.  Anyway this is my job and why I have driven just about any modern car you can think of. The only thing that stops us is the rain, but since this is Arizona that doesn't happen much.  If you want to see more of Chryse Towne click here
