2017 IN REVIEW MICHAEL HOLDEN
INTRODUCTION Well it’s that time of year again… a chance to sit down, reflect, analyse and reminisce on my photography journey to-date, with the sounds and the ambience joyfully rushing back. This year I have been devoted to capturing as many motorsport disciplines as possible, with my final set spanning over 100 years of the motor vehicle. Ranging from the raw, brutal clashes of short oval racing, the nostalgic fueled historic motorsport scene and the sleek, modern GT racers – there’s always been a story to tell. As well as having numerous images published in well-established motoring magazines, I can proudly say the hours put in travelling, editing and shooting in all weather conditions has been worth it. I hope you enjoy viewing my portfolio as much as I enjoyed capturing the drama and excitement from these events. 2018 can’t come quick enough!
