Can You Recognize Your Favorite Classics From Above?

Photography by Petra Sagnak

Sometimes, photographers are given the right environment in which to flourish. So when Petra Sagnak reached out with a few examples of her work, we immediately realized why she’s able to capture such incredible images: photography has always been around.

Sagnak’s father and grandfather were photographers, and that familiarity with the medium is not dissimilar with how fellow photographer Jeff Zwart’s father helped to fuel his passion for cars. It’s been reported that from a young age, she was captivated by the idea of what stories film could helped tell. Professionally, it means she’s won the coveted Bruno Boni Award four times in a row as the best international photographer at the Mille Miglia, an honor that stands among many others.

Here, she’s grouped for us a number of overhead shots taken at the AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix held at the Nürburgring. I must say, those Jaguars are looking pretty sultry…which classic do you think looks best from overhead?

If you’d like to follow Sagnak’s work or get in touch for a booking, you can do so on Instagram, at Facebook, or on her website

Out West coffee is small-batch roasted to maximize flavor: Loring Smart Roasters are the most efficient roasting equipment in the industry. The coffee roasting process used is 80% more efficient and generates 80% less toxic emissions than traditional roasters.

Exquisite photographs! I think I’ve sorted out the entirety of the vehicles yet can’t put the white vehicle with the wide blue stripe.

That little bare aluminium Lotus is so honest; every rivet, weld, repair and hammer mark is visible. History there for all to see!

Lovely photos! I think I’ve figured out all of the cars but can’t place the white car with the wide blue stripe. Anyone out there know what it is?

Oh yeah … and I forgot to add in… if you .. the staff .. or any of your readers live anywhere near the vicinity of that monstrous fire blazing and burning away just outside of LA .. please … be careful . Living in CO and having dealt with these erratic and destructive beasts first hand and despite any disagreements or disputes we may of had … I’d hate like ( censored ) to see or hear about any of you being hurt or worse . So if the local officials tell you to bail …. grab what you can quickly and get the hell out ASAP .. no delays . No possession … including your beloved classic car or collection is in any way worth risking your life for
