GT World Challenge America @ Road America

Some race tracks have a way of making an impression before you even take your first photo. Road America was one of those places.

I had the opportunity to shoot GT World Challenge at Road America for the first time, working with Chicago Performance & Tuning and their Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2.

As a motorsports photographer, every new circuit brings a different set of challenges and opportunities. Road America was no exception, and it quickly became one of those places that makes you wish the race was just a little longer... Even without proper media credentials.

The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2

For this event, I was working with Chicago Performance & Tuning and their Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2.

GT3 cars are always exciting subjects to photograph. The aggressive aerodynamics, intricate details, and sheer presence of the cars make them stand out, whether they're attacking a corner at speed or sitting in the garage between sessions.

My goal was to capture a mix of perspectives throughout the weekend. The on-track action is an obvious priority, but I also enjoy looking for the smaller details that help bring a gallery together: the way the light catches the bodywork, the movement of the car through a corner, and the atmosphere surrounding it in the paddock.

Capturing the People Behind Chicago Performance & Tuning

While the cars are often the main attraction, some of my favorite images from a race weekend have nothing to do with the cars on track.

One of the things I wanted to focus on with Chicago Performance & Tuning was capturing the personality of the crew and the people behind the operation.

A race team is about so much more than the equipment it brings to the circuit. It's the conversations in the garage, the concentration during a busy session, the teamwork behind every adjustment, and the moments of laughter when there's finally a chance to catch a breath.

Those interactions tell a story that an action shot alone can't.

I love documenting those moments as they happen naturally. Rather than making every image feel posed or overly polished, I want the photos to reflect what a weekend actually feels like: the energy, the personalities, the long hours, and the relationships that develop within a team.

Every crew has its own dynamic, and capturing that individuality is one of the most rewarding parts of working with different teams throughout the season. The goal isn't simply to document a car and its results; it's to create a collection of images that represents the people who make everything possible.

For me, those candid moments are what make a gallery feel personal. They're also often the photos that teams enjoy looking back on long after the race weekend is over.

More Than Just On-Track Action

One of the biggest things I've learned through motorsports photography is that the best coverage goes beyond the obvious moments.

The track action matters, of course. But the full story of a race weekend also lives in the paddock, in the details, and in the atmosphere surrounding the event.

At Road America, that meant taking the time to appreciate the surroundings, experimenting with different compositions, and looking for opportunities to capture the character of both the circuit and the team.
