I'm a New Zealand-based motorsport photographer drawn to the raw energy of machines at their limit. From beautifully preserved classics to purpose-built circuit cars and open wheel racers, my work is built on being in exactly the right place at exactly the right moment.

Great motorsport photography isn't luck. It's knowing the track, anticipating the line, reading the light — and having the patience to wait for the one frame that tells the whole story of the day.

“Motorsport is the only sport where a moment of perfection lasts less than a second — and the camera is the only thing that saves it.”
