Just a hobby, no money in it professionally really unless you are one of very few lucky/talented ones specifically employed by a team/circuit etc.

I've had interest from Mosler and Farbio in the past 12 months, so the wheels are turning slowly, pretty sure I got a shot on the Goodridge Calendar this year as well but haven't seen it yet. Doing my own thing has certainly paid off in terms of starting to get noticed, I try to shoot in my own style and try things you don't always see, I could probably get much 'nicer' clean images of all the cars, but at the end of the day I'm doing it for fun so like to shoot how I enjoy it most.

 

[Clart]

if u come to mallory this year let me know chris!

 

[R20 CWH]

[GaryS]

Absolutely amazing pics as always Chris. You remain an inspiration to all us budding photographers out there and you have convinced me enough to buy a DSLR at last. But I know my results will never come up to your high standards, but at least I've got your guides to help me out. I wish you success for 2009 and can't believe that you haven't got magazines queuing outside your door for your pics.

No reason why your shots won't be to my "high standard" given a bit of time, all I've done is practice my ass off and not been afraid to come home with hardly any shots now and again, nothing particularly clever going on!

 

[R1XPH]

As ever...Perfect

 

[JamieITR]

Simply stunning shots Chris. Hopefully in 2009 i'll bump into you and actually talk to you this time!

Fantastic set - Birds seat and the Shot of Clarkie at the airfield are my two faves.

I second your comment on that special GT race.
