  • R32S15

    Have you ever seen a Nissan R32 Skyline is stock condition, how about a S15 Silvia SpecR in yellow with orange seats (heard that there were less than a 100 ever made). Had the opportunity to shoot these two together. My wlog about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xz27NfeuWc

  • Drift Masters GP of Latvia 2018

    Drift Masters GP, biggest and wildest drift event in Europe. For the 3rd round the show moved to Riga, to the famous Bikernieki circuit. As with previous event I made a vlog together with my usual visual report. Hope you enjoy it and find somthing interesting there. Obviously I’m a noob in the fiend and just try different methods as I go forward. https://youtu.be/Ym_tUPucM1E In terms of photography, I mentioned this on the Wlog, I’m a bit tired of Bikernieki. I come here every year and it’s very hard to produce original content. I push myself and try to go to…

  • #MiataByWovka vol.1 – Almost Stock

    I’m launching a new hashtag as you can see in the title. Why? Well, because I own a MX-5 Nb and summer season is ending here in Estonia, so during those long Nordic winter nights I plan to tune/upgrade/restore/stance my car a bit. Thing is, I don’t know yet what is the correct word, nor the direction to go. Right now I’m just holding myself in order not to start to sticker bomb the car. Mind you, my camera and my bicycle have few layers of labels on them, so it’s a passion that is hard to hold off. I…

  • Jeep Wrangler X

    I’m quite a big fan of rugged four-by-fours, so was excited to shoot this Jeep Wrangler, X edition. Car wears this very juicy red colour, so to photograph it with light painting technique was the first thing that came to mind. I played a bit with my Yongnuo YN360 Light Wand before, but this was the first proper shoot that I did with it. I see some mistakes, but in overall, I’m happy with how it came out.

  • 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…
