Erik Seo Photography Blog

This photo, shot about 2 years ago in October of 2008 is one I simply forgot about until recently.  It wasn’t until recently that I met a local automotive photographer, Orlando Echeverria and reminded me about composites and how I could make this shot work better than when I shot it.  I had some issues with my flashes working on this shoot so the lighting wasn’t as even as I was hoping for.  Today, I opened it up, and did some work in photoshop to bring it closer to what I had in mind originally.  I’m pretty stoked to get out and shoot a bit more, things such as this.  Look for more to come.

It had been about two years since I was last out at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, UT.  A lot of my friends are involved in the race scene out there but with the amount of travel I’ve done in the Summer the past two years, it’s been tough to get out.  A week ago my friend Stan Evans was heading out to shoot the SCCA TDI Cup for Red Bull and the movie “Say My Name” as professional freeskier Grete Eliassen was driving in the event so I went along to help out and shoot a little bit.

It’s been far too long since I had been out there, it’s such an amazing facility and we are very lucky to have it out there, especially since it’s only a 45 minute drive away from the city!  It was a fun day and it being a smaller level event it was a mellow scene there and I could go anywhere.  I also hadn’t actually shot from the infield before so it was nice to shoot from a different perspective than I’m used to from the perimeter of the course.  They have done a lot of work to the facilities out at Miller Motorsports Park since the last time I had been there which also made it really nice to be there!

I’ll be updating the site with more stuff from MMP in the future, mostly with Quick Pic blog posts but I’m doing a few projects out there that I’ll be posting later in the Summer when I’m finished.
