From a photography course assignment in 2025 to the paddock at the Nürburgring and GT World Challenge Europe. Today she also runs our social media channels and writes articles.
My interest in motorsport photography started in 2025, when I began a photography course. One of the assignments was to capture speed and movement. I decided to try it at a racetrack, and that first visit opened up a whole new world for me.
After taking that first photograph, I started looking online at what other motorsport photographers were doing. The more I discovered, the more I wanted to learn and improve. What started as a photography assignment gradually turned into a real passion for motorsport.
Today, I regularly photograph at the Nürburgring during Touristenfahrten, and for RNT-Motorsports I cover events such as the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) and GT World Challenge Europe. My photographs from these events are published alongside RNT-Motorsports’ race reports and can also be found on RNT-Media.
Over time, I have become increasingly interested in more than just the cars on track. I enjoy photographing the people, the paddock, the pit lane and all the small moments that make up a race weekend. Whenever possible, I try to create a small visual story rather than a single image: from the preparations and atmosphere in the paddock to the start, the action on track and the finish.
For me, motorsport photography is about capturing not only the speed, but also the atmosphere and story of a race weekend. There is more about me on LinkedIn.
