Maddie Skidan


My name is Maddie Skidan, a motorsports photographer from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Growing up at the racetrack, my love for motorsports and all things fast took root early on. As a creative individual, I initially expressed this passion through sketching and painting cars. It wasn’t until high school that I discovered photography, a medium that allowed me to capture the dynamic energy and fast-paced action of motorsports in a whole new way. I started out capturing the action from the stands eventually working my way into media outlets and client projects. I have photographed INDYCAR, IMSA, NASCAR, and various other exciting motorsports, including NHRA drag racing, SCCA road racing, snocross, and motocross. Each new challenge has allowed me to refine my craft, adapt to diverse environments, and continue pushing my passion for motorsport photography forward.
With my experience and passion for motorsports, I bring a unique perspective to every event I cover. I understand the intricacies of the sport and the fast-paced environment, allowing me to capture key moments with precision and energy. Whether it's the thrill of the race or the behind-the-scenes action, my goal is to provide images that tell a compelling story.
