Originally I started taking photos of cars, purely out of something to occupy the many hours spent parked up in the middle of nowhere. However, as time went by I became driven to see more of what the local scene had on offer, whether it was fully built drift cars battling door to door, beautifully modified show cars or even the bloke down the roads cable tied up Cefiro ripping standstill’s late on a Friday night. It consumed me.
Over the past roughly three years, I have shot events across the North Island. Drifting, hardpark’s, track days, you name it I was more than likely there. Always with the goal of finding the most standout rides our scene had to offer, Rocket Bunny Rx7’s, through to restored Datsun’s and everything in between.
After all the hours and effort I have invested into this hobby, I wanted to push Beastmode further. Looking at the options on the table I made a choice to do more than just take photos, this lead to collaborating with Shaun from Ambition Works on a few articles over the past year. My love for digging to deeper into this community is at the core of why I do what I do and writing seemed the logical option to take it up a notch.
