Behind the lens

I photograph cars because they refuse to hold still. A drift car gives you a fraction of a second — sideways, half-hidden in its own tyre smoke, with the shot gone by the time you have heard it arrive. Getting it right is the whole appeal.

The work splits three ways: drift action, show cars under hall lighting, and the close detail work — a harness, a wheel, a dressed engine bay — that says as much about a build as the whole car does.

I should be straight about where this is at. I am not accredited and this is not a business. Everything here was shot from the public side of the fence, at events I paid to get into, on kit I bought myself, and I am still working out what does and does not come off. The plan is to keep turning up until it is good enough to be more than that.

If your car is in one of these albums, message me and I will send you the full-resolution files. No charge. And if you know of an event worth being at, I would like to hear about it.
