  • FOUNDER & CEO

    Greg, the founder and managing director of Trackside Focus and The Photographic Adventure Company Ltd, has been immersed in the world of photography since 2016.

    From 2016 to 2023, Greg honed his craft as a professional photographer, working across diverse genres such as motorsport, events and school photography. During this period, he also gained valuable experience in roles with some of the UK’s leading photography companies, including Wex Photo Video.

    Drawing on his extensive industry expertise and a growing network of connections, Greg established The Photographic Adventure Company Ltd in 2023 and later re-branded to Trackside Focus to concentrate exclusively on offering world-leading motorsport photography workshops, training and events, alongside building a global community of motorsport photographers.

    The company is fuelled by Greg’s deep passion for motorsport, travel, and photography. Greg is deeply passionate about championing amateur and aspiring motorsport photographers. One of the driving forces behind launching Trackside Focus was his commitment to supporting, encouraging, and promoting amateur photographers and helping those photographers on their journey in motorsport photography.

    As a dedicated motorsport fan and photographer himself, Greg understands firsthand the challenges of breaking into the industry.

What Our Clients Say:

  • "I booked it, loved it and kept working on being a motorsport photographer! Worth the time and money if you love cars like I do. Greg, the owner - extremely nice guy and extremely passionate about his business. He was very detailed oriented and kept making sure I was doing good during the whole trip. He honestly was more of a friend than the owner of the business to us."

    Tak - 24H Dubai Motorsport Photography Workshop 2025

  • "I attended the British GT workshop at Brands Hatch and had a brilliant time. The Photographic Adventure Company (TPAC) managed the event brilliantly and saw to it that all the guests could maximise their experience. The photographic instruction was excellent and I was able to learn loads with two days access to a professional motorsport photographer. It's difficult to quantify these things sometimes, but the workshop was definitely worth the price. I had a great time."

    Chris - British GT Photography Workshop 2024

  • "Absolutely amazing trip, enjoyed every second. Greg and Mike were fantastic, and the other guys in the group were friendly and knowledgeable. I cant recommend going on a tour highly enough. Trust in these kinds of services is paramount and Greg and the team pulled out all the stops. Don't think about it, just book it."

    Chris - 24H Barcelona Photography Workshop 2024

  • "Having only been to a live motorsport race once and this being the first time trying to capture some images, going with The Photographic Adventure Company was the best decision! As everything from the communication before, during and after were great from Greg and Dan. The British GT weekend working with Dan was just amazing his knowledge and encouragement was just what i needed, as its easy to try and capture the same type of images as everyone else but Dan was a great help on suggesting classic motorsport shots but also making sure you as a photographer put your own style and trust your eye to capture what you see. I'll be definitely looking to do more workshop in the future!"
