Jonathan Puckrin's client, On Location Pictures decided to get a booth at a large, international motorsports event. The client's business model is to shoot and print on location for both wallet-sized souvenir identification cards and larger group photos in a mock-up of the grand prix winners' circle with one or two models. My photographer's release prevents me from posting photos from the booth itself but here are some photos taken outside of the booth. As you may have guessed, shooting in the booth meant no shooting cars. But the entire group was great to work with and I was fine not being able to watch any of the races.
On the third day, Jonathan got at least one paddock pass from a press photographer that had done enough shooting for the event. Seemed like the sentiments were fairly similar between many of the press photographers - two days seemed to have been enough for most of them.
Anyway, that's my observation and I'm sticking to it so I don't feel bad for not having shot any racing.
