Photographing F1 with a Vintage Camera

I know the news about a Lollipop Magazine photographer shooting Formula One with an ancient camera is dated now, but we were at PressCamp and it’s still a great story.

I shot an F1 race a few years ago, and was in the scrum. Not with a 100-yr old camera, an A7R II actually, but it was a very memorable experience.

Lollipop’s photos also show the drama of black and white and capturing moments. View them all on their Instagram
