An Artist with an Eye For Detail
My Background
I'm Drake Nailon, the Photographer and Artist behind AutoFocusArts. Born in Seattle, I proudly call the Puget Sound area my home. Largely self-taught, I have studied fine art, industrial design, and fashion design. Through the lens of my camera, I focus on creating stunning images that translate beautifully to canvas and paper, showcasing my passion for automotive art. This lifelong love for all things automotive has significantly shaped the direction of my art. I am driven to capture the often-overlooked details and passion that lie hidden in plain sight. I find beauty in the curves and shapes that create reflection, drawing your attention and imagination, just as they do mine. My car portraits highlight subtle details that even the owners of these automobiles sometimes miss. I playfully refer to my subjects as rolling sculptures and consider my work a form of automotive portraiture. I invite you to enjoy my timeless fine art photography featuring rolling historic automobiles, both past and present.
My Medium
I use many different mediums, such as photography, watercolour, acrylics, and collage, to create my automotive art. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process, especially when capturing the essence of a car portrait. Each idea manifests in its own individual style, whether through fine art photography or another form.
My Inspiration
My eye is drawn to hidden detail, to the reflection and form found within the rolling sculpture that is the automobile. I love capturing something unusual in automotive art and sharing it with the viewer, especially when it comes to car portraits and fine art photography.
