When Blancpain started their Motorsports activities in 2009 I was their photographer for 3 years. In 2019 they refocused their sponsorship activities around their Ocean Commitment and nature preservation efforts. For one last, bitter sweet moment they invited me back to their last sponsored race, The 24h of Spa-Francorchamps, as a guest, but I couldn’t help but bring my little camera...
Chris Harris - genuinely great guy
I brought my Leica Q2, which features weather sealing, something crucial in Spa... because it always rains in Spa... and a 28mm f1.4 lens, which is fantastic for being in the midst of the teams and the madness. And while not the ideal focal length for motor sports action, the 47MP sensor allowed to crop where possible.
Also, as always, limitations make things more interesting and I have Terabytes of beautiful drive by shots.
Probably my favourite picture of the trip.
Thank you Blancpain for your invitation, your friendship and for creating years of great memories.
