Behind The Lens
At the fence, in the pit lane, and everywhere the story happens.

Watkinson
I'm a New Zealand-based motorsport photographer with a deep passion for cars on track. From beautifully preserved classics to purpose-built modern circuit cars and drifting machines — if it's got four wheels and a racing number, I want to photograph it.
Whether it's the decisive moment of an overtake, the raw energy of a car on the edge of control, or a portrait of a machine that stopped time for a fraction of a second — the goal is always the same: make it look exactly as intense as it felt.
“Motorsport photography is about knowing the sport as well as any driver on track. The camera comes second. Knowing where to stand, when to fire, and what the car is about to do — that's what separates a good shot from an exceptional one.”
