"Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose" — Charles Eames

Josh Davis has every man’s fantasy job. He’s found a way to mix high horsepower, gorgeous girls and provocative poses. On top of this he gets paid for it.

He can do prints, calendars, poster, pretty much anything you like. Oh and if you’re interested in a job as a production assistant, get in line. He’s got a resume stack three feet high.

Can’t afford a Lamborghini or a Bentley in these troubled economic times?

Josh Davis will photograph you with a set of posh wheels in any state of undress.

The Fort Worth photographer calls them “boudoir” photographs and charges $579 for a two-hour shoot with three different cars or $679 for three hours with four vehicles.

The 23-year-old Davis, a Web designer who helped launch the Tarrant County Entrepreneurs Club, a nonprofit networking group, said the cars come from a luxury rental service from whom he sublets studio space.

His venture began with local singers wanting to be photographed with the sleek sports cars, and it dawned on him that women might pay to be photographed in provocative poses on or in the vehicles, then give the prints to their husband or boyfriend.

In two months, he’s done three jobs.

If the client is squeamish about having a man around, the other photographer on hand is a woman, Heather Hilliard.
