    Tallinn Motor Show // 2016

    I entered the exhibition and the first thing I noticed was the smell of leather. Every visitor who owned a leather jacket found it compulsory to wear it. Exhibition can be divided into two parts: custom bikes and new arrivals.

  • Interview with Larry

    Larry Chen is one of the early contributors at Speedhunters. He is also an inspiration to many motorsport photographers in the World. I had the opportunity to talk with him.

  • Close-up // Z33 Nismo Super GT // 2005

    I walked pass the Rudskogen pits during Gatebil and spotted that Paddy from Speedhunters was shooting this crisp 350Z. I offered him company and took a few snaps. Usually after a season or two of World class racing, in this case, Super GT, cars become out of date and are taken apart or stored in a garage. If you’re lucky, you can by them off and give them a second chance.  Oskar Sandberg’s 350Z has 315hp 3.6L V6.

  • Close-up // Porsche 911 Rothmans

    I’ve noticed this Porsche on a parking lot at Auto24ring in Pärnu. I love 911s in general, but Rothmans livery made this one even sexier. I’ve spent some time around it, photographing it in detail.

  • Volga 24 Lowrider // Sueno de la Infancia // Non Grata CC

    Shoot from summer 2015 when a friend from St. Petersburg brought his lowrider to Tallinn, Estonia. Car went from factory in 1975, Andrew bought it in 2012. Lowrider was ready in 2014. We had only one day to shoot in Tallinn, next day we went to Power Big Meet in Sweden. Swedes were so “fed up” with all the American cars, so Volga became a real head turner.

  • Art: Olafur Eliasson – Cars in Rivers

    When Reykjavík’s i8 Gallery placed an idiosyncratic call for photographs of cars stranded in rivers, more than 100 photographs were entered. Renowned Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (born 1967) selected 35 photos to include in the final work. Using these photographs he formed the series Cars in Rivers in 2009. By orchestrating the photos sent to him by jeep driving adventurers, Ólafur Elíasson pays homage to a cultural activity born out of a direct struggle with nature, since motorized exploration of the Icelandic highlands is only a recent experience. The book is also an homage to the “unknown explorer” and his…
