About me
As you can see from the picture to the Left, this is me, some Random Long Blond Haired 17 year old from York, making a cheesy grin whilst next to a Chrome and White, Bugatti Veyron in London. And what an Experience that was.
I started out, loving to make things such as Lego houses and cars, and playing the Playstation, but a few years ago, i found a passion for, Photography, especially with my favorite subject of all time, the Automobile. A car that really pops into my love for cars, is the all awesome, Nissan GT-R. Everytime i see one, i think, OMG that's insane. Such power to come from a Japanese Coupe is unbelieveable, especially when it can beat probably most things on the road. This, with my nickname, Jacko, became the name of GTRJacko.
Living in York, i tend to see a various amount of, pretty much, insane cars. Porsche Carrera GT's, Lamborghini Aventadors, R8's of all kinds, Gallardo's, 599 GTB's, DBS's, Tuned cars, and much more. Taking pictures of these exotics, is what makes me so happy. I also like to go to other places, to find these rare and exotic cars, and no other place is better, than London. Finding a FAB Design SLR McLaren, and a Bugatti Veyron, is just incredible. I will carry on photographing these for a long time, but why just photograph cars?
This is where i like to experiment Street Photography, and Landscape. Living in an Urban area, you can be suprised how much you think a moment would be a great idea to capture, so therefore i grab that Opportunity, and take that shot.
So really, i'm ametuer, but wanting to be professional. And hopefully, with tips, trial and error, and experience, i will become a professional photographer.
