HOW IT HAPPENED
I am a life-long fanatic of Formula One racing, and my passion has always been to publish my own magazine, in particular a F1 magazine. But the likelihood seemed unattainable simply because the world of F1 is extremely guarded and closed to the average person ... or at least people who don't have the credentials to be where the real action is.
When photographer Josh Paul asked for my help on where to begin to request photography accreditation to shoot a Formula One race in May, we also discussed my dream and talked about creating a print promotion for Josh to showcase his own equally passionate lust for cars and F1 racing. We simply saw it as a fun collaboration to promote Josh's incredible talent.
With determination and the help of Road & Track Magazine, Josh was eventually granted accreditation to shoot a single race event: The Spanish Grand Prix. While shooting the race in Spain, Josh realized he was the only accredited American photographer, and decided to shoot it a little differently, more like a travel story about a Formula One race weekend. He worked hard to meet the race directors and communications officers within the F1 teams, and was soon invited to shoot the team's drivers and inside the garages. With his accreditation, he also had unprecedented access to shoot in the paddock, trackside and in the pits.
After Spain, he continued to Monaco, to shoot the most exclusive race of the season. This was like hitting the jackpot -- not only was he able to create exclusive photographic content, but he was now shooting multiple races, and suddenly being invited to travel around Europe to shoot the team's factories for an even closer look ... unbelievable!
