Regis Lefebure - Light in the Fast Lane
The colorful drama of sports cars racing from day into night, night into day can easily make for compelling imagery. And the people involved, making it happen behind the wheel, in the pit boxes or behind the scenes, are crucial to the success or failure of the competing teams. Successful motorsports photography requires speed and precise timing, technical mastery of equipment and processing, and an anticipation of what's about to happen. Communicating visually with simple yet powerful images with impact is an element that can place the knowing photographer above others in the eyes of clients. This presentation will show the results of these successes (and failures) along with a discussion of how and why. |
