Award-Winning Motorsport Photography Workshops, Training & Coaching
Now is your opportunity to be mentored by some of the rock-stars of motorsport photography - yes, we’re talking F1® pros, GT gurus, and legends who’ve shot pretty much every major racing series on the planet. Basically, if it has wheels and goes fast, they’ve photographed it.
Our workshops and training aren’t for the “good enough” crowd. They’re for photographers who demand the very best - because that’s exactly what we deliver. You’ll get world-class coaching and training that doesn’t just stop at “how to take a nice picture.” Oh no, we’re handing you the keys to mastering this wildly competitive industry.
Is securing media accreditation on your radar? Confused by the spaghetti mess of circuit layouts? Can’t figure out where to stand for that jaw-dropping sunrise shot? We’ve got you. Our workshops & training spill all the secrets - track dynamics, killer shooting spots, how to strut your stuff with a media pass and how to master the art of looking like you totally belong in VIP hospitality -pretending you didn’t just Google “what is canapè etiquette?” five minutes before.
With hands-on coaching and real trackside action, you’ll leave not just with portfolio-crushing pictures, but with the confidence and insider know-how to dominate the motorsport photography world. Forget just slogging away to keep up - joining a Trackside Focus® workshop and training is how you pull ahead.
Media Accredited Photography Training for Aspiring Pros
Our motorsport photography workshops & training aren’t just unmatched - they’re in a league of their own, giving you a serious head start while everyone else is still figuring out where to point their camera. We put you closer to the heart, heat, and glamour of motorsport than anyone else dares to.
Some of our workshops & training even come with that holy grail of access - a media pass. However, you have got to apply to these workshops! We need to make sure you're serious in order to receive that golden ticket that gets you trackside where the action (and the pros) really are. This kind of access is rarer than a driver giving up P1 willingly, and we hand it to you with the training to actually use it like a boss.
You’ll shoot alongside working professionals, soaking up tips and tricks from photographers who’ve been everywhere, shot everything, and still come back for more. Forget “standard workshops”- this is an all-access, insider crash course into motorsport photography that most people only dream about.
Get Yourself Published
Want to get your photos published in The Pit Stop Magazine? Yeah, THAT one - the motorsport industry’s heavyweight champ of glossy pages and serious street cred.
A select number of our workshops include the opportunity to feature in exclusive articles through our partnership with The Pit Stop Magazine, where thousands of motorsport fanatics, pros, and industry bigwigs will admire your work. It’s like winning a gold medal in the world of motorsport photography - except you get bragging rights AND credibility that could open some pretty fancy doors.
Oh, and did we mention McLaren CEO Zak Brown is a fan? So, if you’ve ever dreamed of sneaking your shots into the hallowed halls of the legendary MTC, this is your backstage pass.
The Pit Stop Magazine isn’t just another magazine throwing around race scores and “who won what.” No, it’s a quarterly, photography centric magazine focused on the heart and soul of motorsport, where your images will be featured and printed for the whole world of motorsport to admire.
Small Group Sizes
While some workshop providers cram in as many people as they can and call it “exclusive,” we actually mean it. At Trackside Focus®, we cap our workshops at six people - because who wants to fight for attention in a crowd? And for our media-accredited workshops & training? Just four. Yep, four. That’s practically VIP treatment.
Small groups mean you get training that’s all about you - your skills, your goals, your quirks (we all have them). We zero in on what you need, fast-tracking your progress and making sure you walk away miles ahead (you’ll also walk miles too, FYI!). Plus, the intimate vibe lets you actually connect with the craft (and with us, because we’re awesome too) instead of getting lost in the shuffle.
Less people, more learning, better results. Simple really.
FREE AMPA Entry
Sign up for one of our workshops, and we’ll throw in FREE entry (yep, completely free) into our Amateur Motorsport Photography Awards - because we love giving you bragging rights. You can submit up to 5 images and show the world what you’ve got. The 2025 competition kicks off in November 2025, so get ready.
Our very first competition in 2024? Total hit. Winners bagged national press coverage and a serious boost to their photography cred heading into 2025. Want that to be you this year? Thought so.
