Dealer Program.

Recurring automotive inventory photography for Sacramento-metro dealerships. Per-vehicle pricing, same-day delivery on standard volume, editorial-grade feature shoots when you need them.

Vehicles that move.

Inventory photography is a volume game with consistency requirements that most photographers cannot meet. Same backgrounds. Same white balance. Same angle coverage every car. Delivery on a schedule that fits the dealer's vehicle-detail-page refresh cycle. That is the entire job, and STEFDPHOTO is set up for exactly that. Per-vehicle pricing scales with weekly volume. Premium feature shoots and high-end private seller work run on a separate workflow with editorial-grade detail coverage.

The dealer workflow is built around three constants. First, consistency across the lot: the same background treatment, the same color and exposure pipeline, the same coverage angles on every vehicle so the VDP grid reads as a single curated inventory feed. Second, fast turnaround sized to your refresh cadence: weekly or twice-weekly schedules let new stock list on the same day it lands on the lot. Third, escalation paths for premium inventory: when a flagship build or a feature vehicle deserves editorial treatment, the same shop delivers it without handing off to an outside studio.

STEFDPHOTO's commercial automotive credentials extend beyond Sacramento dealership inventory work. Dealership brand partnerships include Toyota of Southern California, Toyota Orlando, and MotoMorini, with editorial and product-grade automotive content produced for each. That production standard is available to any Sacramento-metro dealer that wants to differentiate the brand experience on their VDPs, social, and email marketing, not just keep up with the next dealership down the road.

What dealers get

Two tracks, one shop.

Inventory track

Per-vehicle pricing scaled to weekly or twice-weekly volume. Standardized walk-around, interior, and detail coverage. Consistent backgrounds, color, and crop. VDP-ready file delivery on your refresh cadence. The unglamorous work that determines whether the lot sells through.

Feature & premium track

Editorial-grade automotive coverage for premium private seller listings, collector-car auction platforms, and flagship dealership inventory. Walk-around exteriors, interior with door cards, engine bay, the close-detail moments. Video add-on available for rolling features and detail B-roll.

Brand and dealership campaigns

Beyond inventory: brand campaign photography and video for dealership group marketing, manufacturer co-op campaigns, event coverage (Cars and Coffee, new-model launches, Concours d'Elegance), and social-ready short-form cuts.

Delivery and integration

Files deliver to spec for any DMS or inventory feed: sized correctly, named consistently, color profile correct. Cloud gallery handoff plus optional direct SFTP or vendor portal upload on recurring engagements.

Dealer FAQ

Common dealership questions.

How do you price recurring inventory work?
Per-vehicle pricing scales with weekly or twice-weekly volume. STEFDPHOTO prefers a recurring schedule over one-off bookings, which is more efficient for both sides. Reach out for a custom quote.
Do you shoot on lot or at a controlled location?
Both. STEFDPHOTO's mobile lighting setup handles on-lot inventory with controlled, consistent backgrounds. Premium inventory and feature shoots can move to a covered location for editorial quality when the work calls for it.
Can you handle premium feature shoots for collector-car platforms?
Yes. STEFDPHOTO's editorial automotive workflow is built for the photo standards expected by major collector-car auction platforms: walk-around exteriors, interior with door cards, engine bay, and the close-detail moments.
What turnaround can you offer on inventory?
Fast turnaround on inventory volume; specifics are scoped per dealer based on volume and delivery requirements. Premium and feature shoots typically deliver in a few business days.
