Ollie originally had a lot of shots planned out, but upon meeting people he let himself relax into the spontaneity of the situation, keeping himself ‘on call’ at all times, often leaving his family wondering his whereabouts. He soon found potential in places they had chosen to meet, like a disused car park on the north east of the island, “I really enjoyed the journalistic approach and finding new avenues on my travels around the island,” he says.

This spontaneity brought with it images that Ollie never imagined he would get, like the shot of Knuckles, a stunt driver, hanging one arm out of a spinning car. Shown in full motion, holding onto the car with seemingly superhuman strength in amongst billows of smoke from the grinding tyres, the shot has an intense drama about it. “I was not expecting anything like that and he was just casual with it,” says Ollie. “Shooting film in these situations is scary knowing it won’t be repeated but fortunately I got a few good ones.”

Not only does the series show the strength of the car racing community, but the technical ability that goes into such a passion. One of the main things that struck Ollie was the DIY nature of the project, and how many proficient mechanics he came across, and he hopes that aspect has translated. Moreover, as Barbados often gets simply labelled as a tourist destination known for its beauty and beaches, Ollie wanted to prove that it has so much more to offer. That’s why the title of the upcoming photobook is so clever – it “draws people in, and then shows them something different,” says Ollie.
