John Isgar

John discovered motorsport at a young age and has memories of spectating at the RAC Rally and Touring Cars at Donington along with watching the late great Ayrton Senna dominate F1 on TV. A self taught photographer who only picked up a camera 5 years ago has developed his craft by attending local race meeting’s at Mallory and Donington Park as a hobby photographer. John says "I always try and be different, I try to take the shots that nobody else is taking - always good to start by heading away from other photographers!"
