Look hard enough and you’ll find beauty anywhere.
I see it in Speedway.
Allow The Art Of Speedway to find the beauty in your motorsport story.
2019 Speedway Australia Photographer of the Year - I’m Gavin Skene. Photographer, designer, art director and content producer.
Since day dot I’ve had a close affection to the world of speedway. I’ve been a fan, a racer, a livery designer, track administrator, fabricator, championship creative lead - and even driven the odd water truck. Clay is in my veins. Speedway in my heart.
The Art Of Speedway is more than a business. It’s an ongoing project of passion to elevate the way speedway is presented to the world.
Just me, a Canon, and a coliseum of clay.
I’ve shot the biggest races, the greatest drivers, colossal crashes, edge-of-your-seat finishes, and found majesty in it all. I see it. I showcase it.
If you’d like me to help paint the picture of your motorsport journey, just yell (because I’ve usually got earplugs in).

My journey goes a little like this:
Photography.
Started shooting back in 1998 (Pentax MZ50 35mm Film SLR).
A few years later, moved to Canon.
Apart from shooting speedway, I pointed my lens at Supercars, Top Fuel, MotoCross, Speedway Grand Prix, Speedway Karts, and anything else that kicks up dust.
Away from the track, I’ve shot for many brands - from food to manufacturing to sporting A-listers.
Graphic Design.
Side-by-side photography, I developed my designing skills, starting with time at CATC (Commercial Arts Training College), with a Diploma of Arts & Web Development after a little time at doing small ads for The Daily Telegraph.
Cut my teeth in the commercial world running a motorsport publication for over 4 years before being snapped up by Australian Consolidated Press to work across all the greats: Cosmopolitan, Cleo, Dolly, Australian National Geographic, Woman’s Day, Woman’s Weekly and many more.
Then on to co-create a new brand on the Australian speedway landscape, the Ultimate Sprintcar Championship (USC). Along with the rebranding and refreshing of three major Australian speedway venues.
