Jason Tang, a photographer capturing shapes and lines of automobiles, has an innate sense for capturing every nuance of cars and has been doing so a for over 20 years. What began as a hobby developed into a full-fledged professional career. Through many years of working with a number of mentors, Jason sharpened and focused his skills. His lifelong fascination with cars and photography merged to create a career of passion. Jason has owned a number of special cars ranging from the relatively mundane to supercars. Currently, his garage holds marques from Audi, BMW, Porsche, McLaren, Toyota, and Ducati. I’ll also add that Jason is a friend of mine who lives up here in the Pacific Northwest who has photographed my iconic Porsche Turbo Orange Crush, and he is the first deaf guest to grace the Cars Yeah podcast.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
The small details matter the most! Anyone can photograph a car but not everyone can capture the little details that stand out.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
Because I am deaf, I’ve often wondered if being able to hear would affect my abilities as a driver or photographer. I’ve always had to look ahead been very focused while driving and I think being deaf has made me a better driver, perhaps even a faster driver.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
My first special car was a blue 2001 BMW M5. By the way, it was through the BMW Club that Mark and I first met. I was showing the M5 and Mark had a BMW M3.
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
Don’t white knuckle while holding the steering wheel!
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
I use many, many resources, and take a little bit from all of them to incorporate into my work.
