Creators Day

Ever wondered what it feels like to be surrounded by like-minded enthusiasts? Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a Creatives only meet, a haven for car enthusiasts and content creators like myself. Here’s a rundown of my unforgettable experience.  

  Fausto Razzetti (IG @faustorazzetti) held a Creatives only meet, inviting all the local Illinois creatives to come out connect and shoot some unique cars. This was a very intimate meet designed for creatives to be able to shoot some unique cars in a setting unlike a car meet where we normally have to battle crowds and tight quarters. This was a great way to set cars the way we would on a normal photo shoot and also have the ability for some to shoot cars they normally wouldn’t have access to. This was held July 3rd at Busse Woods which was a perfect day and backdrop for content creation.  

   It was great to be able to connect with people I have only interacted with online or meet for the first time. I am a very social person and being able to connect with other car creatives is important to me. Being able to bounce ideas and just share stories while we do what we collectively love was special. The vibes were definitely great and it was amazing to connecting with everyone.  

  Fausto enlisted the help of Rex of Chitown exotic car group to get a few members to bring their cars out. There was two Corvette C8’s, Lamborghini Huracan STO, Audi A4, 1957 Chevy Snub nose, a couple Civics, a Lamborghini Gallardo, and more. I brought along my Canon R6mkii with my 24-70mm F2 lens, with my Polar pro Peter Mckinnon CPL/VND filter. I also had my car mount and my gimbal as well. I was able to get some photos and videos in.  

  Although I didn’t shoot much, I managed to get a few shots in. I was so caught up in the connections and conversations I forgot to get more shots in.  

I think this event was great and would love to attend more events like this. I give this a 10/10, shout out to Fausto for hosting this and for Rex for helping with the cars. Overall, this event had a great turn out with lots of creatives and even more valuable connections.  

 I want to personally thank everyone who came out from the creatives to the car owners. Thank you all for the great conversations and thank you to Fausto for setting this all up.
