For photographers
Let drivers find your photos without knowing your name
Say which meetings you shot, and you appear on that event, on those races, and on the page of every driver who was there. A driver looking up their own weekend finds you, which is the one way of being found that does not depend on them already following you.
Free, and a free profile is a real profile: public page, claims and sample images.
The point is not the profile page
Anyone can host a portfolio. What a portfolio cannot do is put you in front of a driver who does not know your name, and that driver is the whole market.
So a claim here is not a gallery upload, it is a statement about a real meeting in the archive: I shot this one. Because that meeting is joined to its races, its classes and every driver who took part, saying it once puts you on the event page, on those race pages, and in a “photographers who shot these races” panel on the page of every driver who was there.
A driver looking up their own weekend, which is what drivers do, finds you without ever having searched for a photographer. That is the traffic worth having, and it is the reason to bother filling coverage in.
- Say which meeting you shotType the event name; it resolves against the real calendar. Add the link to where the photos actually live, per claim, so a Taupo album and a Manfeild album are different links.
- Pick the grainThe whole meeting, one class within it, or a single race. Whatever matches what you actually covered.
- You appear where drivers already areOn the event, on the races, and on every driver page from that weekend, with a few sample shots and a link out to your own gallery.
Claim what you shot, not more
Most photographers do not cover a whole meeting. You are there for one class, or you were trackside for two races and packed up. Claiming the lot when you shot one grid is how a directory stops being useful, so the claim has three grains and the narrower ones are the honest default.
Every claim is checked against what actually ran at that meeting, so a class that was not there cannot be claimed. Nothing verifies that you were there. That is self-reported, there is no signal on earth to check it against, and the site says so plainly on the page rather than pretending otherwise. A moderator reads new claims and judges plausibility.
| Grain | Shows up on |
|---|---|
| Whole meeting | Event page + every race + every driver there |
| One class | That class’s races + the drivers in it |
| One race | That race + its finishers only |
This is an index, never a shop
A few sample images per claim and a link to your own gallery. No selling, no licensing, no print fulfilment and no hosting your full set. The images here exist to prove there are photos of that weekend and to get the click; the transaction stays entirely between you and the driver, on your own terms.
Your files are not re-rendered or restyled. A sample keeps its natural aspect ratio, because a panning shot puts the car deliberately off-centre and cropping it square would cut the subject out. Where a square thumbnail is needed, the image is letterboxed onto a blurred copy of itself rather than cropped.
The Artist, Copyright and capture date in your EXIF are preserved, because that is your proof of authorship. GPS, serial numbers and camera maker notes are stripped, because publishing where you stood and which body you own is nobody's business. The credit is also shown as readable text, so attribution is visible and not just buried in the file.
| Kept | Removed |
|---|---|
| Artist / byline | GPS coordinates |
| Copyright notice | Camera serial number |
| Capture date | Maker notes |
| Natural aspect ratio | Thumbnails, lens and body data |
