WELCOME TO PADDOCK FOCUS!
Paddock Focus is a series of photography webinars hosted by Jamey Price and Drew Gibson, two experienced full time professional motorsport photographers. Between them they have more than two decades and thousands of hours of experience traveling the globe covering some of the biggest motorsport events in the World for some of the biggest clients in racing. Jamey and Drew created Paddock Focus to share their experience working in the motorsport industry and pass on their knowledge to help you.
Each episode focuses on a different subject, so whether it’s turning from a racing enthusiast with a hobby into a professional getting accreditation, or maybe you're just looking to improve your racing images, or learn a better way of streamlining your workflow, there is an episode for you!
We’d love you to join in for one of the "live" webinars where you can interact and ask questions in real time, or you can stream every episode later on at a time that suits you, and watch it as many times as you would like.
How do we know you'll take something positive away? We started Paddock Focus in 2021 to give honest, but practical advice about motorsport photography and the business side of the industry. We don’t hold any information back, it's just honest first hand advice and information from our own experiences. Hopefully our reviews (below) speak for themselves! Our aim is to pass on as much of our knowledge and experience as possible to help you become the best photographer you can be.
We look forward to you joining us!
PADDOCK FOCUS REVIEWS
Real Paddock Focus students, with real things to say.
Karl Noakes
"We invest a lot of time, money, and effort in attending these races, which makes my investment in Paddock Focus a no-brainer. As a result of your teachings, I found myself more often than not in the right place, at the right time, and perhaps most importantly, getting better images as a result."

"The Paddock Focus F1 Guide seriously provided me with insights and tips that made my photos from the Miami GP better. The advice about mixing up my spots and getting the event vibe through the lens really made a difference. Forever inspired. "
Dave Higgins

"[Paddock Focus] was some of the best information I have listened too since I got into photography. Especially for someone like me who is mostly self taught."
@NIcholasWethB
"Paddock Focus is so well worth the money. Learned more from Jamey and Drew in just 2hrs, than in my 3 years of shooting."

“I watched this (Daytona) episode of Paddock Focus before going to the 24hrs and it made the experience 100× more enjoyable. Highly recommend watching this.”

"I bought Paddock Focus Episode 3 some days ago, and it really helped me with the workflow! Workflow was a part I really struggled with. Since I don’t work for any clients I didn’t know what photos to choose, or where to look for the focused point in the car. Thanks to Jamey and Drew for the amazing tips!"
Bob Helm
"The episode on workflow and culling (Ep3) was very interesting, and it was the part of photography I like the least, and I am now not avoiding it."
Patric McCready
"Daytona 24 Special was so incredibly well done! This has been great for those of us who haven’t been to a 24 h race yet! You guys are phenomenal."
@Devschaul
"l'm glad I purchased the episode on Sebring for locations and tips before diving straight in. I took some amazing shots that I can't wait to share. This experience reignited my passion for art and motorsports."

“Just wanted to say thank you for making PF happen, just invested in my first episode and enjoying the depth of insight and your personal experiences within the sport.”
@Jimmyhaydenphoto
"Just wrapped up my first time shooting at a NASCAR Cup race weekend at Martinsville. I honestly wouldn’t have known how to get out there if it wasn’t for paddock focus."
Gary Dean
"I literally paid $10/hr for 20 years of motorsports photography insight. Yall are giving this way. I appreciate the two of you."
Simon Raeburn-Ward
"The information you have created and shared is invaluable, the format is really useful and I like the little bits of banter as you go. Also seeing your (amazing) photos as you tour the circuit really brings it to life. It will make my shoot much more efficient and will give me more confidence."
