Goodwood 2025: Through a Vintage Lens (Part Two)
I specialise in using old film cameras to photograph sporting events all around the world.

Expired Film Club is a passion project that grew out of the Covid lockdown. I like to look at the world through a vintage lens, documenting my life on old film cameras and posting the results on social media for the world to see.
I’ve been amazed at how quickly it’s turned into a fulltime job for me, and how quickly the analogue photography community is growing.
I was honoured to be asked by Ford to shoot at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Across the event I used a range of cameras – from a 130-year-old panoramic box camera, all the way up to some (fairly) modern 35 mm film cameras.
One that I was most excited to use was an old hi-8 camcorder. This camera is special to me for a number of reasons.
It’s the exact same camcorder that made me fall in love with the medium as a young child. I remember spending hours and days making home videos with my brother and sister using this very camera, and it sparked in me a love that has never left me, so I was buzzing to be using it again this weekend.
I distinctly remember taking it to a Goodwood Festival of Speed as a ten-year-old, and so to bring it back and film some content in 2025 feels very special to me.
I also shot stills on film across the whole weekend, and I chose to bring a number of cameras that span the decades of some of the vehicles on show.
From a 1960s medium format Pentacon, to a 1970s Canon, a 1990s 16-lens Fujifilm and everything in-between, it was a lot of fun using all of these different cameras to give a unique perspective on the weekend.
