    Hi everyone,
    I'm a 15 year old photographer who loves Ferraris. I was wondering if the shop would be okay with visitors going over to photograph the cars.

    Evan,

    Give them a call and ask. Most likely they will oblige you and let you see around.

    Richard is great. I would call or send him a email and ask to come visit. There might be a car or two that you could not take photos of but besides that I can't image him saying no.

    If you are in Bethesda area you are welcome at my garage anytime.

    Evan - If you fancy yourself an automotive photographer, I can highly recommend this link:

    https://amyshorephotography.com/how-to-be-a-car-photographer

    Amy is a brilliant photographer. I hired her back in 2016 when my wife and I took delivery of our Frontline Developments MGB Abingdon Edition in the UK. She’s a delightful person and incredibly knowledgeable about photography.

    If you are at all interested in older classics vs only newer Ferrari’s, you are welcome to come see my 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC and 1963 Jaguar E-type OTS. I’m about 10 minutes west of Potomac Village.

    And I agree with @daoman. Richard and Fernando, owners at Competizione, are great guys and very accommodating.

    Good luck, and have fun.

    Thank you very much, I read the article and it contains a lot of great advice. I would absolutely love to see your 330 GTC and E-Type, which are 2 of the most beautiful cars of all time in my opinion. Should I message you my contact info?

    If you are interested in racing photography Jamey Price and Drew Gibson do Zoom based workshops called Paddock Focus.

    https://paddockfocus.teachable.com/

    They are pretty good and you can ask questions throughout. Really though, the best is to get out to as many events as you can and practice. We are lucky to have a ton of events to choose from in this region. From Cars & Coffee, to amateur racing at Summit Point, to pro racing at VIR and NJMP.

    I used to go to a lot of the C&Cs, but now mostly shoot cars on track.
