  • Kustom Kulture Forever // Germany

    In 2018 I visited a lot of Custom Culture shows. This story was originally published on Speedhunters, so here’s an overview. Custom culture events have never been as popular in Europe as they are right now. The hot rodding culture that defined 1950s America has grown immensely in the time since, and now it’s conquering the hearts of car and bike lovers right across the world. European faithful made their way to Zeche Ewald, an abandoned coal mine location in Germany, for arguably the biggest custom culture show on the continent: Kustom Kulture Forever. As someone who’s attended a lot of shows, I can…

    American Beauty Car Show 2018

    Here’s a massive gallery with 100 pics from the annual American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu. I love coming to this small town during the event. Fact that only American cars (and most of them old) are allowed to enter the Old Town makes it a bit like Cuba, if you understand what I mean. It was the first time I came to the show on Friday (ran through it in one hour and drove 3h further to Rally Estonia). I was able to go inside the castle before the general public, so made few clean shots. Also the evening…

  • American Car Show Helsinki 2018

    In my last year’s post I was deliberating, while I go to Helsinki or to Stockholm for Elmia show, but once again I ended up in Finland. It’s already a tradition for me to head to Helsinki on Easter weekend. Helsinki’s American Car Show (actually show consists of four exhibitions: american cars, tuning, motorbikes, motorsport) offers a great selection of builds every time, although there’s quite a lot of familiar cars at the show as well. Well, it’s good to catch up with old friends as well. The Cars corner I understand that these car clubs just take up space,…

  • Yankee Car Show 2017

    Few years have passed since I was at a X-treme Car Show. I was visiting them when they were held in Helsinki, but it’s first time for me that I’ve made it to Lahti. Show is actually split into two: Yankee Car Show for US cars and X-treme Show for tuning goers. I’ll split my report between them as well: first up – Yankee heaven.

  • American beauty car show 2017 // Drag Race

    Drag Racing in Haapsalu is a long-standing Estonian tradition. It’s even more intriguing to experience it when only traditional American muscle cars and dragsters are around. American Beauty Car Show’s finale is always celebrated at a 1/4 mile strip and is considered more of a show event that a competition.

You’re looking at the parade pictures now, gallery from the show & streets is here and dragrace gallery will be posted in a day or two. Enjoy.

    American Beauty Car Show 2017

    Year after year I say that American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu is my favourite car event in Estonia. Scale of the meet speaks for itself, spreading everywhere around Haapsalu town. Official show is held inside a castle, but very often you’ll find more legendary cars on the streets. Muscle cars, bombs, lowriders, old “suitcase” style cars, new models, hotrods and more. This post will cover only the show and what happens around the castle.. in few days I’ll try to prepare a gallery with the parade, where everyone are burning their tires as well as the official 1/4 dragrace.…

  • American Car Show // Helsinki / 2017

    Already a number of years I’m starting my photography season with a fast trip to Helsinki for American Car Show (actually show consists of four exhibitions: american cars, tuning, motorbikes, motorsport) and every year I’m hating the fact that it’s always on same dates with Elmia show in Sweden.. Where will I go next year, oh, who knows. Enjoy!

  • A year in Wovka’s life

    Year 2016 has 8784 hours in it and that’s 24 hours more than previous 3 years, so you can’t really blame the time for not managing to do something. These 366 days ended really fast for me and they don’t seem to slow down. I’ve visited around 25 cities in 7 countries on 2 continents and photographed most powerful racing cars in different, but always demanding conditions. Truth is, for a freelance photographer from Northern Europe, racing season doesn’t last 12 months – roller coaster starts around March and finishes in October, winter months are for post-edit work, planning and…
