Goodwood Festival of Speed 2015 #FOS

This week’s blog shows just a handful of the images which I shot at last weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed 2015 #FOS, before I head off to the 40 degree plus temperatures on the next location shoot!

2015 #FOS was possibly the most memorable to date, with an incredible VIP guest list brought together by Lord March and the Goodwood team. It was a fantastic weekend, with great weather, a celebrity at every turn and some amazing vehicles of all kinds. Drivers and riders included Ken Block , Jenson Button, Derek Bell, Damon Hill, Sir Stirling Moss, Felipe Massa, Hannu Mikkola, Nico Rosberg , Kimi Raikkonen, Sir Jackie Stewart, Casey Stoner, John Surtees…the list is endless.

It took some arranging & crowd control, thanks to Dave & Dom as you can see from what was going on behind me – I’m in the centre in the black hat – it was mad!

Following the line up, The Doctor took a spin up the hill and rode in to the house to be greeted by Lord March before heading up to the balcony to be greeted by F1 commentator Suzi Perry.

We took some time out to do some light painting on a couple of evenings after the crowds had left for the day…
