Jenn Yates

Jenn is located in Wexford, PA.  Her love of photography started very young thanks to her family. Her mother and Aunt Jenny always had a camera on hand to capture every little moment in their lives.  Her father Jim and brother Ian are both PVGP racers and thankfully that has brought her to our event. Most of the photographers on this page do an incredible job capturing cars on the track and show field. Jenn does that but always includes a personal touch with the owners and racers.

Her style is very casual and uses every bit of natural light possible.  children (and some adults) and getting their pictures taken.  She enjoys capturing little ones, families, animals, corporate headshots as well as various local events in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. See Jenn’s Portfolio.

John Kelm

As a kid in Southern California, John snapped his first image of a car (A ’57 Mercedes 300SC) at Santa Anita Park in 1965. The car was eight years old, he was eleven. Automobiles have held a life-long fascination for him, and over the years he has owned, and wrenched on, an eclectic range of vehicles such as a ’63 Corvair Monza Spyder Convertible, a ’69 Toyota Crown, a ’65 Rambler Marlin, and an ’89 Toyota Supercharged MR2. At the same time, his love of photography developed and he quickly realized he couldn’t own every car, but he could certainly take photos of as many as he could. After retiring from 35 years in the Collegiate Retail industry, John began attending the PVGP in 2010, taking as many photos “as he could” of static car displays and PVGP race action. Examples of his PVGP work are posted on his Instagram account, @autoviews. John is a member of the BMWCCA and his current ride is a 2004 BMW 330ci convertible.

Edward Major II

Ed Major II has been around the PVGP nearly his entire life. It’s only natural that Edward’s photography skills would mix with vintage racing. His father, a founding member of the Western Pennsylvania Triumph Association, is an integral part of helping WPTA host British Car Day every year in conjunction with the PVGP. Edward has a passion for everything sports photography related and vintage cars are no exception. Working as a structural engineering by day, he brings an engineer’s point of view and a unique attention to detail to his photos. Learn more by visiting his website or by contacting him by email.
