My name is Adrian Aliy and I am a automotive photographer and videographer

Passion and Backstory

As far as I can remember, I always loved cars. Growing up, I always I wanted to have a career in the automotive industry. For a while, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with cars, so I thought I’d try and create content surrounding cars. My appreciation for music as well inspired me to make some video edits of cars that I would see at car shows in my area. For a couple years, I tried my hand at making videos on the social media platform Instagram and thought I did pretty well. After a while i realized that it was something I enjoyed doing, and I wanted to go all in and make something happen. So I bought a camera and decided I would learn to create automotive content on my own with tutorials and tools that I found online. Just within the first year, I saw drastic changes in the quality of my content. I began to progress in my editing skills, and my passion just kept growing.

Experience

When I began creating content online, I didn’t know where it would take me. At first it just started out as a hobby. The more I got involved by going to car meets and learning about some very unique cars, the more I wanted to pursue a career in the industry. When I did end up buying a camera, I was determined to go out to as many exotic car shows as I could. The connections I was able to make with the people that I met at these shows were incredible. People I never thought I’d be able to meet, or even cars that I never thought that I’d see were now becoming part of my journey. I’m fortunate enough to be able to travel to exotic car shows all over the United States, because traveling across the nation to go to something like Monterey Car Week is an experience I’ll never forget. So many memories made and incredible people that I’ve met so far, that it makes me excited for what the future may bring!

Goals

My goal is to one day create automotive content as a full-time job. I believe one day that will be possible, because in just a short time I was able to improve a lot and meet some incredible people that could contribute to my goals. Meeting like-minded people that share the same passion for cars is essential to having success in the automotive industry, especially for content creation. I love being able to share my passion through the pictures and videos I create online, and knowing that there are people out there that can be inspired through my work is something I don’t take for granted. One reason I’m able to meet so many incredible people, is because of social media. A lot of people that own these high-end exotic cars love to see pictures and videos of their cars so they are willing to bring them out to car shows to share with everyone else. One day I want to be able to work with exotic cars, and it feels like my opportunity to do so keeps increasing the more I get involved. People I’ve met are able to help me achieve that goal, and I am waiting to jump on an opportunity I am given and never look back.
