Autocartel was founded by co-owners Scott Schaefer and Steve Plowman in 2008 in Omaha, Nebraska. They shared a vision of showcasing vehicles in the highest fashion, while creating a process that allows efficiency in volume production. They were able to utilize their keen eye for photography and knowledge of the car industry to put together a company that has exceeded expectations. Due to the sheer size of the Texas Automotive marketplace, Steve moved down to DFW, Texas to create a new home for Autocartel and shortly after recruited Jordan Wall, who is now, Director of Operations. All together, they have assembled a team of 50+ employees that are all working together diligently to become the largest privately owned vehicle photography company in Texas.
