For a long time, I have known that I want to\nphotograph Motorsport events all over the world so choosing my area of\nspecialisation was pretty straight forward. Here in the UK we are luckily\nenough to have the world class BTCC which I\u2019ve always been a fan of, due to the\nclose racing and differing interpretations of what is the best machine for the\nJob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went along to the Media Day held at\nBrands Hatch with a Hasselblad camera and lots of film in the hope I would be\nable to get up close with the drivers and get some portraits, luckily enough I\nsucceeded. I photographed, Jason Plato 2 time BTCC champion and Dan Cammish two\ntime winner. This approach to my chosen area of specialisation was something\ncompletely new to me, I have never really shot portraits before but by creating\nthis series I have gained confidence to approach people, talk to them and to\nfind out their story before I take their portrait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"640\" data-id=\"2232\" data-link=\"https:\/\/uniofglos.blog\/edandadphoto\/?attachment_id=2232\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/edandadphoto2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/441\/2019\/06\/Dan-Cammish.jpg\" data-width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/uniofglos.blog\/edandadphoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2019\/06\/Dan-Cammish.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"632\" data-id=\"2231\" data-link=\"https:\/\/uniofglos.blog\/edandadphoto\/?attachment_id=2231\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/edandadphoto2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/441\/2019\/06\/Jason-Plato1.jpg\" data-width=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/uniofglos.blog\/edandadphoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2019\/06\/Jason-Plato1.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These two images were produced in response to the Personal Portfolio module.
