Patrick Bet-David’s SF90
This whole experience was crazy. From how I got this shoot, to later finding out the car belonged to Patrick Bet-David himself, this was a wild end to my Miami trip.
Early this January, I flew out to Miami to attend the giant Porsche event, Dasrenntreffen 2023. While I was visiting, I had some great impromptu shoots, met some great people, and had some great experiences. During my stay, I received a Facebook notification that I had been tagged in a post. The post was inquiring someone about an hour away from my current location for a paid shoot for a Ferrari SF90. Very interested, I responded to the post, and got in contact with the poster. My flight back to Indianapolis was later on this evening, so I was fairly limited on time. We agreed to terms, and I met up with a gentleman right outside a gated, armed entrance to a gorgeous community. The houses were incredible. 10, 15, $20 MILLION houses. Absolutely stunning. We arrive at the house, and he pulls out the SF90. Now keep in mind, I had taken lots of detail pictures, including the registration (as per request), but wasn’t paying attention to the car owner’s name. I finish the shoot, and we go about our Porsche-related event business for the rest of the day before the flight. I edit some pictures on the flight, and take a quick nap. Before I know it, we’re landing in Indianapolis. I finally get home from the airport, and start unpacking a bit. I was pretty excited about the SF90 shoot, so I went back and looked over some more pictures. I was feeling a bit curious who the owner might be (who wouldn’t, that house was stunning!), so I go find the picture I was asked to take of the registration, and find out who’s the owner of the car. I started fangirling a little bit. It read Patrick Bet-David. I had just been watching his content the night before all of this happened. I did a couple image searches, and sure enough, I found some pictures that made everything click. I was completely shocked. Patrick provides a fairly big part of the content I take in on a daily basis, and I was just at his house shooting his car. Needless to say, the ending to this Florida trip was definitely unexpected, and super exciting at the same time.
