HI, I'M LEVI.

Usually somewhere around a racetrack, with a camera in hand and far too many ideas in my head.

I'm the person behind Levi's Lens, a motorsport and automotive creative specialising in photography, videography, journalism, graphic design, content creation and marketing.

Over the past five years, I've been fortunate enough to turn an interest in motorsport into a career that's taken me around circuits across New Zealand and as far as the Texas Motorplex drag strip in Dallas, USA.

I've worked alongside some pretty incredible race teams, drivers, mechanics, engineers and brands, and somewhere between the early mornings, late nights, unpredictable weather and occasionally questionable amounts of caffeine, I've found myself doing exactly what I love.

The funny thing is, as much as I love capturing a car at full noise, some of my favourite moments happen when the engines aren't running.

It's the conversations in the pits. The work nobody sees. The small victories, the setbacks, the people who put everything they've got into making it to the next race weekend.

Those are the things that interest me. And they're often the stories I find myself wanting to tell.

Levi's Lens has grown alongside my career, becoming a place where I can bring together all the creative things I love doing. One day that might mean photographing a race weekend, the next it could be writing an article, designing a livery, producing a video or developing a marketing campaign.

I like getting involved, understanding what makes something tick, and finding creative ways to bring an idea to life.

I'm still learning, still growing, and still finding new things to get excited about. I don't think that's something I'll ever want to stop doing.

And if there's one thing I've learned along the way, it's that the best parts of motorsport aren't always the ones you see from the grandstand.

Sometimes, you just have to look a little closer.
