From the publisher:
"Mikael Jansson photographs Formula 1: cars, drivers, mechanics, race tracks, pit lanes and spectators. Behind the colorful surface, the glistening bodywork, the noisy engines and the smell of burning rubber lies a fundamental concern with power, both on the track and on the page. Jansson, who was once Richard Avedon's assistant, has been one of the most respected photographers in the fashion world for some 20 years, and his work has been included in museum and gallery shows around the world, as well as in Italian, American, French, British and Japanese Vogue, among many other magazines. Every photo in Speed of Life--from passing cars to the reflections on drivers' visors, from the dust of the opening lap to the rubber particles flying from deteriorating tires at the end of the race--brims with movement and action."
