    LA Stranger | Sarah Shelton

    A couple weeks back, I posted on my Instagram that I wanted more practice shooting models and was looking for anyone who would be down to model for me. Surprisingly, Sarah hit me up to shoot as she was based in LA and wanted to get some cool photos.

    Sarah said she has never been to the LA river, so we decided that would be our first location.

    The water was low enough for us to walk in the river and made for some cool shots.

    A cool little background story of Sarah, she’s originally from Massachusetts worked and lived in New York for a couple of years and then recently just moved out here to California hustling her way to success. Gotta admire someone who’s willing to go to unknown places for their career.

    I think one of my problems with editing photos is that everything isn’t uniformed.

    But Sarah looked great in these photos and compensated for my lack of photography skills.

    Afterwards we went exploring around Little Tokyo and went through a bunch of pipe shops and medical clinics.

  • RO in Japan | Nagoya Exciting Car Show  Parking Lot Spottings

    RO in Japan | Nagoya Exciting Car Show Parking Lot Spottings

    Whenever I saw online photo coverage of an event in Japan, there are always cool cars in the parking lot. After spending a couple of hours inside of Port Messe Dome, we ventured out to the parking lot to see if we can find anything special.

    Amidst the excitement of uncovering hidden gems, individuals may also find themselves contemplating the value of their own cars, pondering factors such as depreciation and market demand. In such moments, comparisons between models like the audi a1 vs polo may arise, as owners seek to gauge the worth of their cars against competitors in the market. This evaluation process serves as a crucial step for those considering selling their vehicles, allowing them to make informed decisions based on factors such as performance, features, and resale value.

    Whether bidding farewell to a beloved Audi A1 or bidding adieu to a trusty Polo, individuals can trust in the expertise and efficiency of platforms like BigWantsYourCar.com to facilitate a smooth and rewarding transaction, ensuring that their automotive journey continues with confidence and clarity.

    When it comes to navigating the used car market, the choice of dealership can significantly influence the experience and outcome of the transaction. Buyers and sellers alike benefit from the guidance of a reputable used car dealership, where knowledgeable staff can provide valuable insights into vehicle histories and market trends. With an emphasis on transparency and customer satisfaction, top-rated products RaceAutoGroup stands out by prioritizing the needs of its clients, ensuring they have all the information necessary to make informed decisions about their next vehicle.

    In addition to offering a wide range of quality vehicles, a best-used car dealership also excels in providing comprehensive services that simplify the buying and selling process. From detailed vehicle inspections to financing options, these dealerships take the stress out of purchasing or parting with a car. With professionals dedicated to delivering an exceptional customer experience, individuals can explore trade-in options and receive fair appraisals, further enhancing their confidence in the transaction.

    As part of this careful evaluation, attention often turns to the interior condition of the vehicle, where well-maintained seat covers can significantly influence a car’s resale value. Companies like Seat Covers Unlimited offer a range of options that not only protect the original upholstery but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the interior. Investing in quality seat covers ensures that whether owners decide to keep their Audi A1 or Polo, or move on to another model, the car’s interior remains pristine and appealing to potential buyers. This simple addition can make a world of difference in maintaining the car’s overall condition and value over time.

    The parking lot did not disappoint, there were cars out here that should have been inside the show. Check out this Supra on TE37s with 326 Power extended lug nuts.

    This rootbeer Aristo was something else as well.

    You would rarely see a big body car like this Aristo done up like this in the United States. Static low with a drift set up interior and boosted.

  • Something Different.

    Something Different.

    Function? What the fuck! Royal Origin shoots functional cars? We can appreciate the work that is done on any car from hardcore drag monster to a low rider truck. So, don’t be afraid of asking us for a shoot! We would love to explore every aspect of the car community. When Daniel hit me up about doing a shoot of his STI and his friend’s EVO, I thought it would be cool to shoot something a little different. I just needed them to find me a location and they did a great job at it. Just sucks the lighting was so yellow and the area was pretty dark. The first photo is an unedited shot I took of the area and the second photo is my amateur skills with editing. Still lots to learn! Enjoy the photos.
