2019 EAST RUTHERFORD SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Wednesday marked the 25th anniversary of the passing of Aryton Senna and motorsports publications around the world filled their feeds with images of the Formula 1 icon (@f1sutton shared a massive collection of photos that are worth a look, even if you know nothing of Senna). The one common thread through every shot was the crystal clear look of film cameras, with vibrant colors and stunning contrast but little corrective editing, all of which perfectly captured the emotion of the moments.

We’re decades removed from the film era, and the mindset in artistic photography favors personal expression or interest via computer editing, and while exact “of the moment” captures are left to photojournalists and the like. I’m guilty of getting heavy-handed with Ligthroom from time to time, but after swap complimented the look of a Marvin Musquin post-race photo I took in New Jersey, simple alterations were all that I wanted to do to the shots from East Rutherford.
