About us
Welcome to Wide-Open Motorsports Photography
My name is Michael Myers, owner, operator, and photographer behind Michael’s Motorsports Photography. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, I’ve had the privilege of photographing racing events at nearly every local track in the area.
My passion for motorsports began long before I picked up a camera. My true love has always been open-wheel racing, but I enjoy capturing every form of motorsport—from go-karts and sprint cars to late models and modifieds.
My journey started in the mid-1990s when my father worked as a NASCAR official. Traveling with him across the country, I had the opportunity to visit legendary venues such as Atlanta Motor Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway. Having access to the garages, pit areas, and behind-the-scenes world of racing allowed me to experience the sport from a unique perspective and capture some unforgettable moments. That experience sparked a passion for motorsports that has stayed with me ever since.
At the age of 32, I took that passion a step further and began racing 100cc enduro karts at some of the country’s premier road courses, including Mid-Ohio, Road America, and Road Atlanta. Racing at nearly 100 mph, just inches off the ground, gave me an entirely new appreciation for the skill, speed, and intensity of motorsports.
Simply put—I love racing.
Today, my goal is to capture the moments that make motorsports special. The sights, sounds, excitement, and intensity of race day may disappear when you leave the track, but a great photograph can preserve those moments for a lifetime.
I photograph a wide variety of motorsports events and offer services including event coverage, on-track action, driver portfolios, and individual stock photography. Whether you’re looking for professional coverage of an entire event or that one unforgettable image, I’m always happy to discuss your needs and find the right level of service.
Thank you for visiting Wide-Open Motorsports Photography.
See you at the track!
