PistonClick is a world wide media group specialising in photojournalist motorsports reports from the viewpoint of the spectator photographer.

If you have aspirations to be a professional motorsport photographer, and your goal is to get media accreditation to shoot track side with a team or organisation we can help. To achieve your goal you will generally need a portfolio of published work before a team will consider you, that’s where we, the PistonClick team come in. 

Shooting trackside as a paying spectator is where all of the PistonClick team started and most continue to do that today. It’s a hobby they enjoy and don’t want the stress and pressure of professional paid work. Trust us being a professional motorsports photographer takes dedication, skill and commitment that some just don’t have the time or resources to commit to it full time.

If you have the right skill set we can publish your work helping you on the road to gaining media credentials. When you are ready we will supply commissioning letters to aid you in the process of gaining media access trackside. If you just want to improve your motorsport hobby photography by covering events with a defined purpose, reach out to us and we will start your journey.
