Services

Editorial Coverage, Same-day Delivery, Social Cutdowns

Race-weekend documentation across practice, qualifying and the grid. Everything was shot handheld with two bodies, prioritising speed of movement over perfect framing.

Three days, one paddock pass and a shot list that changed hourly. Miami is a low-contrast circuit in the afternoon, so most of the usable work happened in the last hour of practice and during qualifying.

Method

  • Panning at 1/60s to keep the track surface alive

  • Fixed positions at Turn 11 and pit exit

  • Selects, captioned and delivered within 40 minutes of each session

The edit favours movement over sharpness. Where a frame had to choose between a clean car and a sense of speed, it chose speed.
