Neil Herries

Mud, Metal, Memories

I started taking photos at rallies when I was about 12 or 13 after pestering my dad to use his camera and found an interest in this sport through subsequent years. Becoming more enthralled by its history. With stories about fire-breathing monsters charging through forests, and famous foreign faces defeating natives. Those times had gone when I found my passion for the sport. With big teams and international drivers no longer competing to the same extent, a downward slope began for British rallying, and specifically for me, Scottish. This work shows the history that we are losing with the sport being restricted by the running costs and governmental restriction, thus making it less appealing for competitors to enter the events.
