Motorsports photographer Vladimir Ljadov recently added a macro lens to his kit, allowing him to capture distinct and creative car photos.
Compared to more traditional car and motorsports photography, Ljadov says macro photography is a “delightful change of pace.” Unlike when photographing a race, Ljadov can avoid contending with moving subjects. He can take his time and study his subject — there’s ample opportunity for artistic experimentation.
“The main technical challenge is getting enough light for a proper macro shot, which can be tricky in the evening when in the shade,” Ljadov remarks. Overcoming this and other challenges is well worth it for Ljadov. “Searching for close-ups ignites my creativity, allowing me to tell a more diverse visual story,” he says.Like with any specific genre of photography, it’s easy to think thatcar photography can fit neatly into some specific box. However, Ljadov isn’t one for rules. One of his favorite aspects of photography is the creative freedom it allows.
He’s able to use his instincts to guide him while shooting. Equipped with a macro lens, Ljadov can get up close and personal with cars, which allows for exciting and unique images and lets him connect better with his subject. It’s a fruitful change in perspective.After purchasing his new macro lens, Ljadov will always keep it in his photography kit.
“If I have spare space in my photo bag, I always throw the macro lens in there,” he says. “I’m excited to develop my unique style and incorporate macro into my motorsport photography.”
