Motorsports in general owes a great deal to a small group of folk that are as fanatic as they come. Most spend hours in search of that perfect light, or that exact moment having researched the track, race, drivers and last but not least, the weather.
It was in a living room of an apartment in Le Mans, France, surrounded by several seasoned Le Mans veterans and race professionals that I decided to become an amateur motorsports photographer. My reasons are two fold: to capture that perfect moment in racing and to publish a book about the stories of my hero photographers along with great racing photographs.
Below follows some samples of my work abroad, mostly with the World Endurance Championship (F.I.A.).

Another take on the race to the first corner. Just before the race would start, the drizzle would stop. Still the spray added a nice touch to the frame.
All alone in the lead, and just after a couple of laps. Toyota Gazoo Racing Hybrid car would win the race.
Before one hears the roar, spray announces the nearing of a car. In this case the leading LMP1 Hybrid Toyota.
Exiting the final corner onto the start straight away, an SMP Racing LMP1 entry moves to pass an Aston Martin Vantage (TF Sport) and a Porsche GT Team entry.
