As a photographer, there’s nothing quite like the excitement of capturing a fresh perspective, and that’s exactly what I experienced during my recent trip to Daytona Beach, Florida. This wasn’t just any photo session — it was all about Xenas New Look. Xena, a Nissan 240, had just received a stunning makeover, and I was lucky enough to be the one to capture it.

Being from New Jersey, most people would have hopped on a plane, but I wanted to make the journey even more of an adventure. I decided to drive straight from New Jersey to Florida in a single day. It was a long, tiring drive, but I pushed through, making it to Florida in the early morning hours. After a short nap, I was ready to kick off the photo session with Bear Dellinger, who joined me to help make sure everything went smoothly.

This photo session was particularly special because it marked the first time Xenas New Look was shown to the world. Freshly redone and looking incredible, Xena became the star of the shoot. We took the time to capture several stunning shots, each showcasing different angles and the new details that truly set Xena apart. The transformation was breathtaking!

The day got even better when In Focus Films joined us to capture all the action on video. Their cinematic touch brought a whole new dimension to the experience, and the results were absolutely incredible. From the vibrant Daytona Beach backdrop to the stunning new features of Xena, it was a photo session I won’t soon forget. Check out all the behind-the-scenes fun below!
