Dave Olson started taking pictures at age 16 shooting photos at a local race track in his hometown. He became the youngest track photographer in Wisconsin at age 17, and was accepted as a staff photographer at Midwest Racing news on his 18th birthday. In the years to come Dave would became a contributing photographer for The Midwest Racing News, The Checkered Flag Racing News, Open Wheel Magazine, & Stock Car Racing Magazine. His photography would be used commercially by ad agencies and corporations including Good Year Tire, Jimmy Johns, Polaris, Ford Motor Company and Amzoil. 

Over the years Dave has traveled the country and photographed major Motorsports events including The Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500, Phoenix Copper World Classic, The Chili Bowl, Knoxville Nationals, Pacific Coast Nationals to name a few.  Dave pioneered the first mobile that lab he would take to events where he would photograph, develop film, and print images where he would offer them the same day on location providing unprecedented product and customer service. Speed Graphics was his original company which merged with his Studio 360 brand in 2019.

 Dave was inducted into the Slinger Super Speedway Wall of Fame in 2022, and  the S.E. Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Fame in 2023.

47 years as a motorsports photographer have given him a lifetime of experience and technique unmatched in his field - and a too many memories & friendships to count!
