Through my lens

LUIS VIVAR

As a motorsports photographer, I have been fortunate to witness some thrilling and exciting moments on the racetrack.

It almost goes without mentioning but my favorite events to photograph are those hosted by the Porsche Owners Club where I have had the privilege of capturing the unique and passionate culture that surrounds these iconic cars.

The POC is a community of individuals who share a love and appreciation for the Porsche brand and its racing heritage. POC events are not only about competition, but also about camaraderie and sharing experiences with like-minded individuals. As the POC photographer, I have been able to capture this sense of community through my lens and have seen firsthand how the love of Porsche and motorsports bring people together.

From the moment I step onto the track, I am surrounded by the sights and sounds of these beautiful machines. The unmistakable roar of Porsche engines fills the air as the cars are brought to life in anticipation of the race ahead. The sleek and stylish design of the cars is a photographer’s dream, with their clean lines and iconic curves.

As the cars line up in the cold pit, I capture the excitement and anticipation on the faces of the drivers and their teams. It’s all for fun but the intensity in their eyes and the determination in their stance is a testament to the passion that drives these individuals to compete at their highest level.

As the race begins, I focus my lens on the action unfolding before me. The cars speed past me, their engines roaring and tires screeching as they navigate through the turns. I capture the heart-stopping moments as drivers push their limits, fighting for every inch of track and every precious second of time.

But it’s not just the action on the track that makes these events so special. As I move around the paddock, I capture the behind-the-scenes moments that show the true spirit of the POC. The camaraderie and support that exists between drivers and teams is apparent, as they work together to ensure that every car is running at its best and that every driver is doing well.

The POC is more than just a group of individuals with a shared passion for racing. It’s a community that celebrates the spirit of competition, the thrill of the race, and the joy of being behind the wheel of the most iconic auto brand in the world.

As a motorsports photographer, I feel privileged to be able to capture the energy and excitement of the POC events through my camera lens, and I look forward to capturing many more unforgettable moments in the future.
