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.

Anyone else enjoying the Speedhunting season being in full swing? I’ve been on the road quite a lot recently so haven’t had a chance to really take in some of the most recent #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER submissions until now, but oh my, are they good! 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. [...]
A lot of people don’t realise that Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring are only separated by around 65 miles of public road. So within the proverbial stone’s throw, you have arguably two of the greatest racing circuits on this planet. On one hand you have Spa, probably the greatest grand prix circuit there is [...]

Can you believe that it’s May already? I don’t know about you, but I’m really hoping we can adopt a 36 hour day sometime in the near future. There’s so much to be done, and so little time to do it. Thankfully, we can help you squeeze some Speedhunters into your life with one simple [...]
Hello everyone! My name’s Rob Blank and I’m a photographer from the Netherlands. As a motorsport and car enthusiast, I visited races as a little boy with my dad. 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 [...]
It was quite difficult to settle on a theme for this week’s exotic poll. These days, there are so many cars that blur the lines between performance car and supercar, so we decided to go back in time a little to an era where things were a little bit more clear cut. To kick off [...]
Now this is a theme reveal worth shouting about. Last week we asked you to submit your best supercar and exotic photographs and my oh my, did you respond. The featured image this week is a pristinely presented Maserati MC12 shot by Hussein Zain. The centred composition is perfectly balanced, and the processing is superb. [...]
I was quite looking forward to seeing what you could come up with for this, the black and white theme. As per usual, the quality of submissions was astounding. What makes me happiest however is that there seemed to be plenty of new names flooding into our inbox, along with some of the #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER regulars. [...]
I like to spend my Sundays immersing myself in car culture. I like to sit down somewhere quiet, and take my time reading some of my favourite publications. If there’s live race coverage on the TV, I’ll try to factor that in as well. Last weekend though, I had a thought. What if the areas [...]

Hello fellow Speedhunters readers! My name is Elijah Lane, and I’m an automotive enthusiast/photographer from the States. More specifically: hot rod territory, Kentucky. My photographic enthusiasm began when I was roughly 13 or 14 years old. I started researching photography and learning how the more advanced equipment operated. It really caught my attention how photos [...]
Next week, we’re going to be dedicating a couple of days to what is, for most of us anyway, the unobtainable. For the majority, we can only dream of supercar and exotic ownership, and the closest we may get is through the experiences of others. This is where you and every other Speedhunter come into [...]
The recent launch of Porsche’s 991 GT3 has set pulses racing the world over. However, there was a slight sting in the tail of this announcement: this would be the first GT3 not offered with a traditional manual gearbox. Porsche has been quick to calm potential customers’ fears saying that the new PDK (Porsche Doppel-Kupplung) [...]
