I’ve always been a daydreamer. When I was younger I had trouble concentrating in school, and my teachers were always having to talk to my parents about how I was so easily distracted and zoned-out in class. As an adult, it turns out that I’m no different. But what I didn’t know as a child [...]
Hello fellow Speedhunters! I am Steven Phillips and like many of you I am an amateur photographer looking to break onto the automotive photojournalism scene.

This is all credit to you of course, as you’re all pushing yourselves to be better Speedhunters. We know it’s not easy, but we always appreciate your hard work. Thank you. Last week we put out a call [...]
When we announced the Nürburgring theme last week, I knew we would get a response. So many of you submit every week, that the odds of getting some ‘Ring images were always going to be quite good. What I didn’t expect though was as this week rolled on, for you to start sending us images [...]
Amazing cars, an illustrious location, a chilled out vibe and the beautiful British Summer. Ok, so the last is a bit dubious, but otherwise, these are some of the key ingredients that go towards making up the Players Classic show at Goodwood. The Speedhunters crew will be there in force and you’ll be glad to [...]
Historically, France is a country where the car has been witness to great know-how, technological vanguard, great sporting moments and a shared passion for almost 150 years. Even if the glory years seem behind us, it’s clear that the flame that drives our mechanical passion is far from dying! The Classic Days is a unique [...]
Towards the end of next week we’re going to be running a VAG mini-theme here on Speedhunters.com. As seems to be tradition now, we’re going to ask for your VW Audi Group-related photographs so we can include your views and interpretations on one of the most popular scenes in car culture. I’ve personally always felt [...]
Although #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER is more associated with photography submissions, we also deal with video, writing and any other medium which can portray Speedhunting. Take this video made by Speedhunter’s reader Justin Lapriore as a perfect case in point. Filmed at the 18th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, which paid homage to 50 years of Lamborghini, the Ford GT40, the Porsche 911 and the Corvette Stingray.

I have quite a lot of emails to still go through, but [...]
If you go down to the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise. Especially if the woods in this example is Adenauer Forest, and you’re heading there for this weekend’s annual Nürburgring 24hr. In honour of what must be the toughest endurance race, we’re going to have an #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER celebration of the Nürburgring. If you’re [...]
There are many ways that a father and son can bond, car culture being one of the more common and long lasting outlets of recent generations. As a young photographer who grew up in a family of artists, I have always enjoyed shooting with my dad, Tom Hassler, who is my biggest influence and mentor. [...]
How do you photograph #MaximumAttack? That’s a good question, and it seems recently I have been receiving plenty of emails asking me about photography advice. I discussed this with head honcho Rod Chong and he came up with the idea of me talking a little bit about my 25 favorite photos from the #MaximumAttack book. Hopefully this [...]

A couple of years ago I decided to take my camera with me and started to explore photography. Today, I’m a freelance photographer. When I started shooting [...]
The rule of thirds. The golden ratio. Leading lines. Point of view. Framing. Many terms which all correspond to possibly the most important aspect of photography – composition. The art of composing a photograph is what separates us all as photographers. It’s the perfect device to illustrate how differently we can all see the same [...]
