I didn’t pick up a camera because I planned to become a photographer.
I picked one up because I couldn’t stay away from the chaos, the noise, and the energy of drifting.

It all started with a Klutch Kickers event, some borrowed gear, and no clue what I was doing. But once I pressed that shutter and froze a moment mid-slide, I was hooked.

I’ve been around grassroots drifting for over 13 years—not as a stranger, but as part of the scene. These aren’t just cars and tracks to me—they’re people, stories, and moments that deserve to be captured with purpose.

Photography became my way of staying connected to motorsports and the community that raised me. What began as a side passion turned into a mission:
Document the rawest, realest moments of grassroots motorsport—and do it better than anyone else.

I don’t just want to take photos. I want to take the best photos.
I want to work harder, stay longer, get closer, and tell the most powerful story possible.

Zelaya Lensworks is an extension of that mindset. It’s not just about being there—it’s about being all in.

If you want surface-level coverage, you’ll find plenty of it elsewhere.
If you want the truth, the grit, and the story that lives inside every corner and every cloud of tire smoke—you’ve found your guy.
