A Hard day's night(s).
In it's 50th anniversary, the Baja 1000 -peninsular route- for the very first time, went backwards,
starting at La Paz and finishing in Ensenada. This gave me an unique opportunity, to focus on the finish line...

But how should I make it interesting?
I decided that the emotion and drama of the racers after the job was done was what most interested me.
My team and I ended up putting together an improvised studio where the idea was to isolate the subject
in a private moment with the camera, thus creating a personal connection with the photographer
in a different perspective, a more personal one, one that shows emotion.

The emotion of the most beautiful race in the world.

Near closing time, I went mobile, what could I see when they're still sitting on the race car?
