Two photographers, one boot full of gear

Shuttrspeed started when Tejs asked for some photos of an old Ford Escort. He and Mads met up and found a shared interest in cars, motorsport and making things. Years of trial and error followed.

Between 2012 and 2015 that turned into 29 sets and 1788 frames across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, England, France and the US, plus 15 films, one of which was nominated for Best Documentary at the London Motor Film Festival.

Tejs Poppe

Photographer & director · Born 1983 · Copenhagen

Why do you do this?: Why say no to getting close to race cars?
The most awesome experience?: Riding shotgun with the 2013 Danish Champion, Jimmi Hansen, and then his car broke down before the Drift Allstars finals at Poznań. One hour later it had a new gearbox and was ready to go, thanks to a great crew and fellow racers.
Car?: Renault Clio '14 dCi 75hk. Slow? Indeed.
Motto: Go go go!

Path finder. Responsible for everyone getting food and keeping track of a correct sleep pattern. Also the technical guru and handyman, which can be very practical.

Mads Eneqvist

Photographer & director · Born 1980 · Copenhagen

Why do you do this?: Because sitting behind a desk all day makes me sad.
The most awesome experience?: When we saw “The Gatebil Spirit” on the big screen at the London Motor Film Festival.
Car?: Yes, a Golf Mk4 R32.
Motto: If you can dream it, you can do it.

Head of photography. Beside shooting motorsport and cars that don't drive in a straight line, Mads shoots weddings, business portraits and food.
