We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Artur Shynkarov . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Artur below.

Artur, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

How did you learn to do what you do?

I’ve always been passionate about sports cars, supercars, and hypercars. My journey began simply as a fan, following blogs, magazines, and online platforms that showcased these magnificent machines. My fascination led me to invest in a camera and start attending local car events. I began by capturing raw moments – the roar of the engine, the gleam of the paint, the crowd’s admiration. Over time, as my content gained traction, I realized there was a genuine interest in the unique perspective I brought to the table. I then decided to dive deeper by attending workshops, collaborating with videographers, and learning the nuances of content creation and storytelling.

Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process?

If I could go back, I would have sought mentorship earlier. While there’s a lot to be said for learning through trial and error, having guidance from someone who’s already paved the way can be invaluable. Additionally, I would have invested in professional equipment sooner. Quality speaks volumes in our industry, and the right tools can truly elevate content.

What skills do you think were most essential?

Beyond the technical skills of photography and videography, storytelling has been paramount. It’s not just about showcasing a car; it’s about conveying its soul, its story, and the emotions it evokes. Building genuine relationships with tuning companies, showroom owners, and the car community at large has also been crucial. Trust and authenticity go a long way.

What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?

Initially, the biggest challenge was gaining access. High-end cars, exclusive events, and private showrooms aren’t easily accessible to outsiders. It took persistence, networking, and proving the value of my content to get my foot in the door.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

For folks who may not have read about you before, can you please tell our readers about yourself, how you got into your industry/business/discipline/craft etc?

Certainly! My name Artur Shynkarov , and I’m a blogger and content creator focused on the world of high-end cars. My entry into this industry began with a deep-rooted love for these machines. What started as a personal hobby attending car events and taking amateur photos soon evolved into a full-blown profession. Today, I manage a team of talented video operators and editors, and we collaborate with industry giants like Mansory and Bentley.

What type of products/services/creative works do you provide, what problems you solve for your clients, and/or what do you think sets you apart from others?

We specialize in creating cinematic content that brings the world of luxury cars to life. Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes look at a tuning process, a showcase of a newly launched supercar, or a deep dive into the history of a classic, we aim to provide a unique lens. Our strength lies in our holistic approach – it’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about narrative, emotion, and connection. By working closely with brands, we ensure that our content aligns with their values, furthering their reach and engagement.

What are you most proud of and what are the main things you want potential clients/followers/fans to know about you/your brand/your work/ etc.?

I’m incredibly proud of the community we’ve built. Our followers aren’t just passive viewers; they’re engaged enthusiasts who share our passion. With every piece of content, we strive to push boundaries, innovate, and stay true to our core values of authenticity and excellence. I want potential clients and followers to know that when they engage with our brand, they’re getting more than just visuals – they’re joining a journey, a movement of car enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry and engineering of the world’s most iconic vehicles.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Absolutely. At the heart of my creative journey lies a mission to bridge the gap between the awe-inspiring world of sports cars, supercars, and hypercars, and the enthusiasts who admire them. My goal is not just to showcase these magnificent vehicles but to humanize them, reveal their stories, and magnify the passion and craftsmanship behind each model.

Every car has a history, a soul, a narrative that extends beyond its engine and chassis. Whether it’s the decades-long evolution of an iconic brand, the intricate handiwork of a tuner, or the personal journey of an owner, I want to capture and convey these tales to our audience.

Furthermore, in an age of mass consumption and fleeting digital interactions, I aim to create content that lingers, resonates, and fosters a genuine connection. I envision a community where car enthusiasts, whether they own a hypercar or dream of it, feel united in their shared passion and can engage in meaningful dialogues about the vehicles they adore.

In essence, my creative journey is driven by a desire to celebrate the art of automobilia, foster a vibrant and informed community, and spotlight the emotions and stories that make every car truly unique.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

For me, the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in the realm of high-end automobilia is the ability to immortalize moments, emotions, and stories that might otherwise be fleeting. Cars, especially the ones I focus on, are more than just machines; they are masterpieces of engineering, design, and passion. Being able to capture that essence, to translate the roar of an engine or the gleam of a polished bonnet into a piece of content that resonates with others, is truly gratifying.

Moreover, seeing the reactions and engagement from our community is immensely fulfilling. Every comment, message, or conversation sparked by our content is a testament to the impact and connection we’re fostering. It’s a powerful feeling to know that through our work, we’re creating a space for enthusiasts to bond, learn, and share their own experiences.

Lastly, the creative journey itself is a reward. The process of conceptualizing, crafting, and then sharing a piece of content – be it a video, a blog post, or a photograph – is a continuous cycle of learning, evolving, and pushing boundaries. It’s a dance between artistry and innovation, and every project brings its own set of challenges and joys. It’s this dynamic, ever-evolving nature of creativity that keeps me inspired, motivated, and deeply in love with what I do.
