Learn to capture fast cars in motion with pro tips on freezing action

About the event

Fast cars deserve fast shutters but there’s much more to automotive photography than cranking up the speed. In this specialised motion photography workshop, you’ll learn how to create sharp, dynamic, and cinematic shots of racing cars in action.

Through a mix of demonstration, guided practice, and real-time shooting, we’ll cover everything from the basics of camera settings to advanced panning techniques. By the end, you’ll be confident in freezing the drama of motion or creating artistic streaks of speed and energy.

Freezing the Action – Shutter speeds, focus modes, and techniques for razor-sharp racing shots.
The Art of Panning – How to track a car and create that blurred-background, speed-in-motion look.
Angles & Composition – Finding the best vantage points and framing moving subjects for maximum impact.
Automotive Photography Tips – Light, reflections, and car-specific tricks for pro-looking images.
Gear Guidance – Lenses and accessories that work best for action and automotive shooting.
