Hello, I'm Danny Clarke, a 35 year old full time freelance Motorsport photographer based in the town of Earl Shilton, Leicestershire, UK. My journey into the world of photography began at the age of 15 when I first picked up a camera, attending motorsport events at Mallory Park with my Dad. What started as a hobby soon evolved into an all-consuming passion has now allowed me to travel all over the world, photographing some of the most special vehicles in the Classic Motorsport world, as we as working alongside talented creative in both Modern & Classic motorsport disciplines.
A good friend once said something to me, and it’s stuck ever since. ‘You’ve helped bring contemporary motorsport photography into the classic world’. My job isn’t just about taking pretty pictures. It’s about delivering those pictures with speed and efficiency to my clients so that they can update their socials throughout a motorsport weekend and quickly after the event. This is just as key to my work flow as it is being in the right spots at the right time.
Beyond my dedication to photography, I'm also a advocate for men's mental health. I understand the challenges that life can throw at us, as I too have struggled with anxiety. My personal experiences have inspired me to use my platform not only to celebrate the beauty of cars and the excitement of motorsport but also to raise awareness about mental health issues, particularly among men. Through my work and my words, I hope to foster a sense of community and support for those who may be going through their own battles.
