TrackDNA CREW
Photographer
David Schwartz
David Schwartz is one of TrackDNA’s young paddock creatives, obsessed with making speed look the way it feels. What started as a fan with a camera in full auto at COTA turned into a style built on motion-heavy panning shots and the small paddock details most people miss. He shoots fully manual, still learning, still experimenting, and focused on giving riders images that carry the whole day every time they look at them.

Off the Racing Line
From Paddock to Viewfinder
David Schwartz is the kind of paddock creative who never really put the camera down—whether it was his grandfather’s old Samsung on church trips or late-night experiments shooting cars and bikes at COTA. He’s built his eye on missed shots, bold pan attempts, and long Rolex 24 marathons, chasing the tiny details and big moments that tell a whole weekend’s story in a single frame.
