Like a beautiful work of art in an expensive frame, carmakers spend fortunes framing their their latest creations in exotic locations for official photoshoots. But to our minds, racing circuits rank as the ultimate backdrops. Which is why when searching for the next automotive photographer to feature as part of our ongoing series, we hit the pause button at Bas Fransen Photography.

The 30-year-old from Eindhoven works with Mercedes-Benz HG in his home country of the Netherlands, and his pictures have appeared in Top Gear and Evo magazines. But he loves nothing more than heading to the Nurburgring and Spa-Francorchamps to capture cars on the track. From the insane Ferrari FXX K to the extreme Lamborghini Aventador SV, Bas has captured an array of lustworthy cars in the ideal environment for pushing the limits of their potential. If you like what you see, you can keep up-to-date with his work via his Facebook page or Instagram page, or by following him on Twitter.
