European Le Mans Series 2025 at Silverstone
The European Le Mans Series at Silverstone 2025 which was held in September, held a full grid of 44 cars across the four classes (LMP2, LMP2 Pro/AM, LMP3 and LMPGT3). Featuring 31 teams representing 28 nations.
Between the pure speed and the sound, there was nothing more special than experiencing that.
From the sun beaming down to great down pours of rain, it made for some brilliant racing and well crashes too. Capturing the motion of the speed to freeze-framing, I wanted to photograph the true events of these races.
British GT Championship Qualifying 2025 at Snetterton Circuit
Attending the British GT Championship Qualifying at Snetterton in 2025 marked a defining moment in my photography journey. This was my first time stepping into the world of motorsport photography — and the moment I truly fell in love with it.
I attended a paid training day dedicated to learning the fundamentals of motorsport photography, from understanding race flow and track positioning to mastering panning shots at high speed. Capturing cars at full throttle, feeling the vibration of the engines through the ground, and freezing split-second moments of precision and power was an experience I will never forget.
What started as a learning opportunity quickly became clarity — this is where I want to take my career.
Since that day, I have been building my motorsport portfolio with a focus on dynamic panning, sharp action shots, and storytelling imagery that captures not just the cars, but the atmosphere, intensity, and emotion of race day. Motorsport photography challenges me technically and creatively, and that’s exactly why I’m drawn to it.
This event wasn’t just my first motorsport shoot — it was the start of a new direction.
DWYB - Santa Pod
On Wednesday 18th March, I attended the public drifting day at Santa Pod Raceway to sharpen my skills ahead of the upcoming motorsport season.
Being surrounded by a community so passionate about drifting — from drivers to the friends and family supporting them — is something truly special and hard to put into words.
I thoroughly enjoyed capturing the action on track and delivering images to the drivers, preserving moments that mean so much to them.
