I photographed T-Pain for eBay Motors’ “Renew Your Ride” campaign, a project that celebrated car culture, community, and the joy of keeping your ride alive.

eBay Motors partnered with T-Pain — a Grammy-winning artist, entrepreneur, and car enthusiast — to help spotlight their Renew Your Ride initiative, a first-of-its-kind program designed to empower drivers with confidence in upgrading and maintaining their vehicles using parts backed by eBay’s Guaranteed Fit program. The campaign culminated in a dynamic Atlanta-based event where fans could explore custom builds, receive expert consultations, and see T-Pain’s own iconic 1994 Honda Accord brought into the spotlight.

The imagery from this shoot blends automotive passion with cultural storytelling — capturing T-Pain’s magnetic presence alongside the tactile, hands-on spirit of the Renew Your Ride movement. Through thoughtful lighting and composition, the visuals reflect both the authenticity of car culture and the charisma that T-Pain brings to every creative endeavor.
