Jasons love of motorsport began at an early age. A friend from further down the road attended Phoenix Karting in Peterborough and invited him along. From that moment, he was hooked. At just seven and a half, the sights, the sounds and the unmistakable smell of fuel and rubber became part of his world.
By the age of eight he had secured his MSA racing licence and moved into Comer Cadet, later progressing into Junior TKM at Kimbolton (HKRC) and Whilton Mill. He raced until he was 17, when road cars finally became an option. None of it would have been possible without the unwavering support of his parents, who acted as pit crew, logistics team and, inevitably, nervous spectators as he charged into the first corner at 75 mph.
Although his competitive driving days ended, his connection to motorsport never did.
He continued attending major race meetings and automotive events including British Superbikes, Santa Pod, BTCC, Silverstone Classic, Supercar Fest and Autosport International, sharing those experiences with friends and family.
Photography entered the picture as a natural extension of that passion. What began as bringing a camera to race meetings gradually evolved into something more focused. In 2025, that journey became formalised with the creation of Reu Automotive.
Together, a platform was built, designed to showcase high-quality motorsport imagery to a community that shared the same passion for racing. The audience grew steadily month by month as the identity, reach and quality of the work continued to develop.
In just a year, the progression was dramatic. From attending events as a spectator, he moved into working trackside alongside a driver in the Ferrari Challenge UK. Wearing a media tabard - once a distant ambition - became a reality in 2025. That momentum continued when he was selected as one of the Top 100 Photographers in the 2025 Auto Photo Awards, a standout achievement for a first season in professional motorsport photography.
His relationship with Pitlane News began through their talent-discovery hashtag, where he shared his work to reach a wider audience. After reaching out for guidance on how to develop his brand, he connected with Matthew Jordan, whose advice and support helped shape both direction and visibility. His images were soon being regularly shared with Pitlane News’ international audience, consistently generating strong engagement and positive feedback.
Moving into 2026, his role with Pitlane News is expanding further. He is attending the Autosport Awards on their behalf and finalising a full calendar of events where he will be working inside the paddock rather than watching from the stands. Seeing the scale of opportunity that comes from being part of the Pitlane News team has been, in his words, “mind-blowing.”
For him, this year marks the shift from passionate spectator to embedded motorsport media professional - gaining access to events, people and environments he never imagined so soon.
This is only the beginning.
