Who’s Brenda Priddy? Ninja assassin? No. CIA operative? Nope. MI6 agent? Wrong again. But let’s be clear, if Brenda Priddy was any of these things, and you were on her bad side—you’d be dead right now. That’s right, Brenda Priddy, wife and mother of two is the world’s greatest automotive spy photographer.

Like a monster-hunting Van Helsing of the auto world, Priddy strikes fear into the heart of engineers, test drivers and the global automotive juggernauts trying to keep their up and coming products under wraps and hidden from the public.

This world-class automotive paparazzo boasts a laundry list of “kill” shots that would make 007 jealous—including the first images of President Obama’s limo. In fact, Brenda and her team of photogs are so pervasive in the industry that Condé Nast released an article entitled "The Secret Seven" in which it listed Brenda Priddy & Company as one of the top seven anti-corporate web sites.

Risking life and limb literally (Brenda’s been pushed, cajoled and even forced to dodge a few run over attempts), Ms. Priddy logs over 30,000 miles each summer in the Mojave desert to get her shots. The Mojave is where the majority of auto makers do their testing. Since it is so hot and desolate, they assume no one in their right mind would be out there.

Well, we’re not sure if she’s in her right mind or not, but you can bet she’s out there, weapon in hand, ready to fire off a few deadly sniper shots to an awaiting public. Bravo Brenda, keep up the great work.
