Motorsport Photography Tuition
With professional, award-winning motorsport photography coaching and tuition, you’ll learn how to capture the raw energy, drama, and speed of BTCC racing like never before.

You’ll master essential techniques such as:
Tracking fast-moving cars with precision using panning and motion blur.
Adapting to changing weather and lighting typical of UK circuits.
Framing high-impact shots that tell a story.
Creating standout portfolio-worthy and atmosphere-rich compositions.
Whether you're shooting from trackside or exploring creative angles around the paddock and circuit, we will guide you through the process of anticipating the moment and executing it with confidence.
Editing & Feedback Sessions
And because we’re nice like that, learning doesn’t stop when the chequered flag drops. Our post-workshop editing and feedback sessions will turn your raw chaos into polished masterpieces. You’ll get tailored advice, hands-on guidance, and follow-up feedback, so you can finally stop blaming your camera and start building a portfolio that actually impresses.

Workshop Leaders

Michal is a UK-based, award-winning photographer from Czechia with a deep passion for motorsport. He began exploring photography in 2016 and discovered his calling two years later at the race track.
Seeing photography as the ultimate way to be part of motorsport, he honed his craft tirelessly, developing a bold and creative style that caught the attention of Digital Camera World magazine, which featured him in 2021. His big break came when Goodwood Road and Racing invited him to join their team of official photographers, where he covered major events like the Festival of Speed and Revival over three seasons. Now freelancing for GT-REPORT, Michal continues to shoot world-class events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, WEC 6 hours of Spa, GTWC Europe and many historic sports car festivals. At these events, Michal had the privilege to work for some successful teams and drivers, Andre Lotterer, David Brabham and Karun Chandhok, to name but a few.
Michal is always pushing himself creatively on and off track to capture the essence of racing, the feeling of speed and emotions in every photo. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, he has won the International Photo Awards in both amateur and professional categories, and has been nominated three times for the British Photo Awards and was twice a finalist in the World Sport Photography Awards.
