Galleries of 2025

Monterey might dominate the headlines, but 2025 really started for me at Air | Water—a surge of early-season energy that set the tone for the year. I split that coverage to keep the story clean: one thread following Emory Motorsports, the other focusing on Gunther Werks, each with its own tempo and cues. Air | Water isn’t about spectacle so much as momentum—cars shuffling between corrals and demo routes, light changing by the minute, and just enough space to work angles without losing the atmosphere. Those pictures became my baseline for the season: intent over volume, and context in every scene.

From there the arc widens toward Monterey Car Week—curated lawns at The Quail, the brand-forward pulse of Werks Reunion, and the community feel around town at Porsche Monterey Classic and Carmel Concours for a Cause. I thread in moments from the Pebble Beach Concours Tour Turnaround where motion and ceremony meet. Each stop has a different rhythm, so I adjust: arrive early, stay late, and let the venue dictate the angles. The result is a set of pictures that read like scenes rather than checklists.

The year’s core narrative lands with Gunther Werks: first, an intimate Showcase at Folktale Winery—vineyard rows, shifting placement, late-day light—then the next-day Laguna Seca track event shared with Königsegg. I focused on the flow between paddock, hot pit, and track: owner sessions cycling through, the orange Turbo press car staged in full track trim, and a ride with Patrick Long that pinned the day’s tempo without pulling focus from the broader story. Together, these galleries knit 2025 into a clear through-line: start with Air | Water, expand across Monterey’s mix of lawns and asphalt, and close on images that feel unhurried even when the week doesn’t.
