Talk Shows by Members Also Scheduled During the Exhibition
Last year marked the 40th anniversary of JRPA, the nation's sole association for motorsport photographers. With 68 active members and 11 honorary members, they capture press photographs of motorsports events such as races and rallies, both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, they have been spreading the appeal of photography and motorsports to a wide audience through photography classes and workshops.
This exhibition showcases the most memorable works selected by each photographer from the 2011 motorsport scene. Through these definitive shots, captured by those who have consistently documented the intense battles, the exhibition conveys the excitement and allure of motorsports.
During the exhibition period, events such as race car displays and driver talk shows are also planned. Details will be announced on the JRPA website in due course.
These are the heartfelt works of photographers captivated by motorsports. We invite you to experience the photographs that convey such emotion and excitement up close.
