Legendary motorsport photographer Jesse Alexander has sadly passed away at 92 at his home in Santa Barbara.
A veritable artist in his own right, Alexander was one of the most iconic snappers from motorsport's golden era.
The American spent many years in Europe in the 1950s chronicling Formula 1 and long-distance racing as well as the famous Mille Miglia and Targa Florio events, where his beautiful imagery aesthetically showcased the sporting and human themes of the day.
But Alexander's body of work, which has been exhibited in museums in the United States and featured in many of his books, also includes theater photography as well as travel photographs of Iceland, the Galapagos Islands, and birds.
