Darren Taylor

Darren describes himself as a lifelong motorsport fan whose earliest memory is watching the 1988 Italian Grand Prix highlights as a child, with his father and has never recovered since being bitten by the bug. Self-taught with more than six years of experience in motorsport photography, Darren can often be spotted looking for new and different vantage points at his closest tracks, Silverstone and Brands Hatch though he ventures to other racing circuits in the UK and overseas. As much as he enjoys the on-track action, Darren also likes to capture the anticipation before a race and the joys of victory afterward in his photos.
