Photographer/Videographer at Classic/Exotic Dealership in Katy, Texas at Streetside Classics

Specializing in the consignment and sales of collector vehicles, Streetside Classics is the Nations #1 classic car dealership. We currently have showrooms in Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, Fort Worth, TX, Houston, TX, Nashville, TN, Phoenix, AZ, and Tampa, FL, with future growth expected.

Our Houston facility will hold 250+ of the finest classic and collector vehicles, and nearly every one of them will sell to buyers across the country and around the world who never set foot in our showroom. That makes the photographer/videographer an important role. Your work is what buyers see when they decide to purchase, often without ever seeing the car in person.

The Houston showroom will bring in approximately 40 to 60 new vehicles each month. Every vehicle is photographed and filmed to the same standard in our signature photo studio. We provide all camera, lighting, and video equipment.

If you have a passion for classic cars and enjoy photography and video, this is a rare chance to turn that passion into a career. Prior photography experience is not required. If you have a strong work ethic and an eye for detail, we will train you.
