  • Pwuf talks about cars on The Ignition podcast. If you like cars and are on social media, you have seen Max doing his thing on camera. But how does someone with no prior social presence or connections in the car world go from taking videos on the street to sitting in multi-million-pound cars and going to events worldwide?


    In his first-ever podcast, Pwuf Talks Cars, aka Maximilian Chester, he discusses how, only just after leaving University, he became a household name on phones all over the world.

  • Jamie started at his local hill climb, Shelsey Walsh; he realised that taking photos for drivers was an opportunity to cover the cost of his ticket; from that point onwards, Jamie has been using his sense of problem-solving and people skills to climb the career ladder from a young age. At only 18, Jamie realises that his confidence in himself around people is the biggest asset, not the camera and lenses he has, but his words and work speak for themself.


    Working for companies like Toyota, Audi, and Land Rover Classic and travelling the world already, Jamie has one hell of a headstart in the world of freelance photography.
