On 15 February AUTO PHOTO Founder Karen Harvey joined Caffeine & Machine founder Phil McGovern for Inside the Machine –  a series of talks where guests from the automotive industry and car culture are invited to share insights about their craft, how they approach it, and take questions from the audience.

Karen answered questions about navigating the photographic industry, including how to price work, get clients, and create a stand-out portfolio. We officially launched our AUTO PHOTO 02 photobook, shared the Top 100 2023 digital exhibition, and discussed Phil winning the community-voted Creative Impact Award.

Photographers, friends and car enthusiasts, were all welcomed, along with guests from our partners Adrian Flux, Project A, and WXVE. 

Thank you to everyone who came out to spend some time with us at such a fantastic venue, and who took photos of the night, we’re pleased to be able to share some of them with you here.
