Gary Hand

Hailing from Harlow in sunny Essex, often found at Brands Hatch during the season and occasionally known to venture to other circuits, Gary has been a motorsport and all-round car fan since a young age. School provided the springboard into photography but purely by chance, not knowing what else to do, a box marked ‘photography’ was ticked. This was a time of 35mm and dark rooms, but the right ‘subject’ choice had been made and the passion for this pastime continues today albeit in this slightly ‘easier’ to process digital age. Gary has had his work published as far as India, South Africa, South America as well as in publications in the United Kingdom.
