The Goodwood Revival is a three-day festival held each September at Goodwood Circuit since 1998 for the types of road racing cars and motorcycle that would have competed during the circuit's original period—1948–1966. Most people dress in period clothes. It is one of the world's most popular motor race meetings and the only UK event which recreates the golden era of motor sport from the 1950s and 1960s.

This year I was there shooting a short film following the fortunes of one of the few female racing drivers competing over the weekend - more about this shortly.

In addition to shooting moving images I took the opportunity to shoot a few still during the event - not necessarily as many as I would have liked but shooting both stills and film at the same time is a difficult ask.. The two disciplines require different approaches and a different mindset and on this occasion the priority was filming. Shooting stills here you might think is an easy thing - there are so many amazing sights - but for me the difficulty is focusing on a particular subject whether it be the fashions, the cars, the racing, people, activities or whatever else you might pick - the subject matter is limitless and sometimes difficult to see the wood for the trees!!

There are of course the cars..
