Haila at Magnuson Park

Last year, I shot Haila’s Toyota Starlet for NWMotiv, but this time around Haila wanted to get some photos of her own. Thanks to some really assistance from our good friend Nosilla, I believe these photos turned out great. Each of these was taken with my Nikkor 70-200mm ƒ2.8 VR2.  I definitely plan to use some of these to replace some photos in my portfolio that have outstayed their welcome. Many thanks to Haila for being a great natural “model” […]

Speeds were much slower than Formula D thanks to the smaller kart track, so trying to get good slower-shutter pans was much more challenging. The photos still came out great though, and I’m glad that I was able to make a lot of the drivers I’ve met happy with my photos of them. Here […]

Formula D Seattle 2011

Formula D Seattle is undoubtedly my most favorite event to photograph every year. In previous years, I shot the event for Subiesport Magazine and Driving Sports, however this was the first year I shot the event for NWMotiv.com. Due to scheduling issues with another event I was going to on Saturday, I was only able to shoot Friday’s practice and qualifying sessions, but I was also able to get Kyle “KP” Pope to fly up from Arizona and shoot in […]
