How did you develop a passion for cars and\/or motorsports?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy passion for cars started at a very young age. Everything from Hot Wheels, Need for Speed, Forza Motorsport, to Gran Turismo videogames. It evolved further once I started attending car shows, going to races, and the occasional opportunity to drive or copilot cars I have photographed over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. What advice do you have for people who want to break into the motorsports and auto industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy simple advice is attend events and network with individuals in spaces that you want to be a part of. And for content creators &#8211; create more and consume less.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3. If you could drive any car, what would it be and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nEither a Porsche 911 GT2 Evo (993 Gen) or a 992 GT3 Cup Car. Those two are dream cars and great examples of the past and present of Porsche motorsports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4. If you could attend any car\/motorsports event in the world, which one would you choose? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\nGoodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. It\u2019s on my bucket list for motorsport events outside of the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5. What&#8217;s the most exciting car event\/race you&#8217;ve ever attended?<\/strong><br \/>\nToo many to pick from but I&#8217;ll say NASCAR Pennzoil 400 in Las Vegas. I received a media credential with full access to shoot track-side, pit road, and capture the pre-race ceremony and post-race interviews. I may\/may not have brushed shoulders with Bubba Wallace and William Byron.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A glance at his skills behind the lens:<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/racersandriders.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1-octane.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1668\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11578 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2500\/1668;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/racersandriders.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-octane.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4181\" height=\"6268\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11579 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 4181px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 4181\/6268;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/racersandriders.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3-octane.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3400\" height=\"2268\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11580 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 3400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 3400\/2268;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/racersandriders.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/4-octane.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1734\" height=\"2600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11581 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1734\/2600;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/racersandriders.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-octane.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3200\" height=\"2135\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11582 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 3200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 3200\/2135;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/racersandriders.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/6-octane.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1795\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11583 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1440px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1440\/1795;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n <iframe title=\"Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach 2024 | IndyCar &amp; IMSA Race Recap\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PvK9D5eMznI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographer and videographer J.
