Formula Drift Vegas

Formula Drift Las Vegas is known amongst the drift media as one of the trickiest events to shoot, photography-wise.

Ridiculous desert heat combined with an all-night event, bright headlamps and no high vantage points to shoot from make it a real task.

It’s also the knowledge that the photographer had one chance at that shot. No screen to review the shot and adjust for the next one.

The shots may not always be focus-perfect but I’m sure you’ll agree the atmosphere you get from shooting on film cannot be replicated shooting digital.

And of course with film comes the excitement of developing your shots, not quite knowing what you’ve got until it’s too late.
