Gran Turismo Baltica // Auto24ring / 2015
Read more: Gran Turismo Baltica // Auto24ring / 2015I’m already used that in the end of July I get to shoot some supercars at Auto24ring. Gran Turismo Baltica have been coming to this circuit for four times now and always attracts plenty spectators. 2. Organisers themselves say that the race track in Pärnu is one of the finest in Eastern Europe, so event is always fully booked. 3. Finest supercars come to the track 4. I photographed this event a bit differently this time, almost didn’t use my trusty 70-200 and put pressure on the other equipment that I have and that I don’t use most of the…

Slowball // Preparation Day / Tallinn
Read more: Slowball // Preparation Day / TallinnSlowball is an event that is completely opposite to Gumball, except the similarity in the name. You won’t find any expensive cars or glamour here. On the other hand, diversity and artistic expression goes through the roof. 2. Idea is simple: bunch of guys & gals with artistic talents bought 20+ cheap wheels and visually customised them. 3. Between 5th and 9th of August they will take their creations on a road trip across Estonia. 4. Cars will start in Tallinn and their first stop will be at Rummu Quarry 5. After that they will move to Haapsalu 6. Later ferry will…

Gatebil Rudskogen // July / 2015
Read more: Gatebil Rudskogen // July / 2015I always try to get new experience and choose those events where I haven’t been before, but I can’t say this about Gatebil – I’ve been to Gatebil Rudskogen festival three times and I’m planning to go next year as well. Event is so diverse that I’m not sure why I keep coming back: is it the atmosphere, or drifting, or socialisation with colleagues? I arrived in the evening on Friday and went straight away to the track, festival program already finished and that meant that Rudskogen circuit is filled with photoshoots. Me and fellow photographer Alex went to say…

GUEST POST // REMI MÕNGELIUS / NITRO NATIONALS ’15
Read more: GUEST POST // REMI MÕNGELIUS / NITRO NATIONALS ’15Another week, another ”narrated gallery” from me. Well.. Where do I start? I guess I could start from last Friday. I woke up to a phone call at 10 am, it was my brother calling me. ”Hey, you up?” My answer was no. ”Pack your bags, we’re going to Alastaro.” My answer? ”Sure, call me when you get here.” Not your usual run of the mill story when it comes to motorsport events. Before the Nitro Nationals, I had never been to a ”real” drag racing event, so here it goes – my experience. Bear in mind though – I’ll…

Power Big Meet // Road Trip / 2015
Read more: Power Big Meet // Road Trip / 2015Some time ago my friends from Russia started to mention one bad-ass event that is held in Sweden. It is called Power Big Meet and is organised for more than 30 years. Friends invited me to go with them this year. They are running a car club called Non Grata, some of you may know that it’s the first Lowrider club in Russia. Aleksandr and Andrei arrived one day earlier to Tallinn, in a sorted out Chevrolet Impala and crisp Volga “GAZ-24” Lowriders. We did some photoshoots, but more of it you’ll see in future posts, let’s stick to our…
