Official photographers

After a short break away, of nearly 2 years, Mad Love Media was super excited to be back in the pits at the New Zealand Superbike Championships as part of the official media team. Our video extraordinaire Lucas, flew over from Oz especially for our planned road trip to Taupo for round 1. Unfortunately and very disappointing for all those involved, the event was cancelled due to unsafe track conditions, an un heard of scenario, we were all gutted!

As a result I was super keen to make it to the next round, Lucas couldn’t make it. To say it was amazing to be back at the track would be an understatement, I truly forgot how much I love taking photos of the behind the scenes of the people in the pits. Bring on round 3!

Whanganui Cemetery Circuit 2019 // Suzuki Series // Mad Love Media // Carl Cox Motorsport // Toby Summers

Each year on Boxing Day the town of Whanganui in New Zealand shuts down its streets and prepares to race. Motorcycle riders from all over the world come to compete against NZ’s finest in this prestigious event. Here is just a snippet of the day from Mad Love Media sponsored rider Toby Summers edited and filmed by Lucas Sudbury of Mad Love Media.

Suzuki series 2017

I love being at the race track, the people, the bikes, the smells, the sounds, the emotions, the passion, you can feel it everywhere. I sometimes take pictures of the bikes on the track but I without a doubt prefer taking pictures of the people in the pits, the teams, the families, the riders. Motorbike racing is an individual sport but a lot of the time without a team behind you you it's not possible to do it. A picture can tell a thousand words and it's the moments before a race, or straight after that tell the biggest story! Here are my top picks from the 3 round Suzuki Series 2017, including the final round at the famous Cemetery Circuit on Boxing day in New Zealand's very own Whanganui. This year I was primarily shooting for the Carl Cox Motorsport team but there were plenty of other moments I couldn't resist snapping too.
