1. Car Photography Operations, Training, and Inventory Workflow
Lance coordinated vehicle inventory photography assignments and onboarding across the Porsche and BMW dealership lots. Photographer(s) are being integrated into the photography workflow to capture and upload vehicle images. Lance introduced a custom tracking application that prioritizes vehicles by lot age—focusing first on the oldest used units—and tracks completed units to facilitate payments via Venmo. Standardized framing guidelines were established using mobile devices to avoid high equipment overhead. Image storage was organized within Google Drive under the "Harris Porsche Inventory" folder using vehicle stock number subfolders. Immediate plans include hands-on training on initial lot vehicles, followed by portal access verification and full shooting operations.

Hello. What's up, man. Lance. Hello, Mr. Lance. Man, just checking in. I'm in. I'm back in the office today. You at work today?
0:15
Yes, sir.
0:16
All right. I'm gonna come. I'm gonna come. Your direction around four, and I'll be in that office over at Porsche. Is that good?
0:25
Got time to fold it or what? Yeah, man. I was just. My lady, she calling me right now. Like, I'm supposed to pick her up. Like today, like Tuesday, Thursday, I usually pick her up from campus. But I just had to let her know. And she hung me, and she called, and she complaining right now. And that's why. And I'm not trying to. And the thing is, though, Mr. Lance, I'm not even trying to get on you or nothing. But like, that's why I was like a little. Cause I'm like another job right now. Money's kind of really tight right now for me. So any little extra, little fifteen, twenty, thirty, you know what I'm saying? Like, are you trying to get another job to work towards something? That's what I'm trying to.
1:00
You know, cause I just I hate asking my girl for something. I also don't have you know, just the the resources to ask people for you know, hey, can you loan me this for a quick second until I get paid or this and that? You know, I just don't have my parents to to reach out.
1:14
So it's like okay, um, yes sir. So do you want to shoot tomorrow then? Cause just so you know, when you shoot when you shoot cards and you upload them, I'm just gonna be paying you cash.
1:28
Right now, I can try to think about it like this. I got,
1:33
We got probably 15 cards that need to be shot. So what is 15 times 15?
1:38
15 times 15. I can do that in my head. My head. I'm in a bad quiz right now. The point is,
1:51
That's 200 dollars.
1:52
Yes sir. Yes sir.
1:53
Yes sir. So yeah, we we got. Look, if you got other jobs, are you are you are you trying to leave work early and head over there to help.
2:05
Her? Well, I mean, she called. She was on the other line until you called, so I didn't really. I said I'm gonna request Mr. Lance's call because the day though, she's she's depending on me too, though. You know what I mean? And that's what I feel like I'm letting her down a little bit because it's times where I mean, rent coming up, and then I also gotta. Have to make sure, and I'm not trying to say I'm complaining. You, I'm just letting you know, like, hey, as a college student, I want to be able to provide, and you know, as a man, you feel like a little bit down on yourself when you're not, you know, you're not making those steps or you're not providing, you know, and that's why you do need that partner to come sometimes to help out. But she's not in that position right now, so it's like I'm putting it on myself right now, you know. That's good. Putting it on me, you know. Well,
2:45
Listen, if you want to work with me, dude, this is what this is what we're doing, and this is just. That's not. You know that's um, that's up to you, if you want to do it. You know what I'm saying?
2:57
That's all good. You think that's gonna be 15 a car, like 15 cars like every week, or how you feel like that's gonna go about? Cause it's like 220, and that's that's like damn, like that point is point I didn't. Yeah, and look,
3:09
And I can do more than 15 a car, but my point is, yes, sir, is with with Porsche. It's going to be how many cars they get in. So once we're calling exactly, how many cars do we get in? So that's what you'll be making with that. And it's just going to be one car. So you're not going to have to be like, well, I need to put in two hours to get my thirty bucks before tax. You see what I'm saying? Exactly. So it's once you get going with me, it's going to be how many cars do we have? Let me go shoot them. I need my money. You know what I'm saying?
3:48
So it's just a matter of if you get to the end of this afternoon, or if you want to wait until tomorrow. That's up to you. Um,
3:54
You think we can do some training tonight? Maybe like one or two, because I don't think I can stay too long after, and then maybe tomorrow I can get started. Would that be good? Yeah. Oh. But do you need to go first? I mean, around four, cause she's on campus right now, and I usually grab around four. But you know, like I just also also know like like I gotta get through tonight. Like just. I'm stretching till it's not tomorrow. Like my check hits tomorrow, and it's like I'm to a point where, you know, I'm at that point right now, and it's like I gotta get through today. You know what I mean? And she knows that. So it's like if I gotta stay out there an extra hour or so just to make some grocery money tonight, then that's what I gotta do. And she she gonna understand that, you know?
4:33
Yeah. Well, look, let's do this. I need like I can get started with you earlier if you want, but it's all about making sure you take care of them. You got everything buttoned up, you know. If you can get buttoned up for like three and three thirty, you and I can knock out a couple cars early.
4:49
Yeah, well, you know, I gotta make sure all the loaners are clean and check with the texts. But I, I just, we have all the loaners pretty much cleaned out. I gotta, I gotta do one more. All right, and then we gotta check with Chris and everybody else.
5:02
I got one or two texts I gotta do. Some little computer work. I need to sit down. I'm in my office on BMW. I'm gonna knock these couple things out. Let me know when you're done, and I'll walk over there and we'll look at some cars.
5:14
Alright, 3: 30. I'll shoot you a text. That sound good?
5:17
See ya? Have a good one, dude. I'll see you then. Alright, Mr.
5:20
Lance. Alright, bye.
