Meet Team AVEX

Scott Saylor is the principal owner/photographer of AVEX Photographic (named for his children Ava & Alex) and is the public persona of the company. Scott holds a BFA and an MFA in photography, and is a full time photography instructor with Fairfax County Public Schools at South County secondary school. He has had a passion for Hotrods, Muscle cars, and all forms of racing, especially drag racing since childhood. He has been a photographer since 1982 and has photographed many famous racers, teams and stars in the Winston Cup series, Busch Grand National, and Hooters Pro Cup series. Scott and his team have photographed many drag racing events at local dragstrips in Virginia and Maryland. Avex Photographic has been officially "Jack Approved" by local racing legend Jack Redd. Avex Photographic has also been endorsed by East Coast Drag News. Special thanks to Stephen Jones for all his help.

When not creating new images for the business (or working the sales tent) Scott enjoys driving his 1969 Galaxie 500 sportsroof coupe. The 429 4V hauls the mail and can be seen at the track from time to time, or at local car shows. It ran a 9.957 at Old Dominion Drag Strip; not bad for a 4300 lb  restored factory stock car!. The car is a first place winner at the 2007 Ford National show at Carlisle, Pa.

Scott Saylor’s Motto: Walk with anyone, talk with anyone.

John Gonsalves lends his photographic talents to AVEX Photographic on an on-going basis.  As the owner of a photography business in the Alexandria area for the past 30 plus years, John's photographic skill set adds yet another style to AVEX Photographic's motor sports photography.  He creates the computer stylized Giclée Art Prints images you've seen at the track (you can view samples on the "services" page of this website) and makes all the race video slide shows for the AVEX site, YouTube and DVD's for sale.  You'll often see him on the track whenever he can slip away from his core business for a day at the track.  Contact him directly at www.GonsalvesPhotography.com for exquisite photography at reasonable prices for weddings and social events, as well as, portraits of children, seniors, individuals and families.

Mark Saylor is AVEX Photography’s third photographer. It just so happens he is Scott Saylor’s first cousin. Mark has a vast amount of experience in photography. He has been shooting commercially since 1977.  He has spent many years shooting for various publications and fine art events. Mark holds a B.S. degree in photography. He attended Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara California. Mark has a knack for trying new techniques and creating incredible motion shots of cars and motorcycles; especially during the night races. Mark tends to shoot in his own unique style that AVEX customers really enjoy and have come to expect from us. Mark also leaves the business of selling to Scott Saylor. When he is not shooting for AVEX he enjoys wood working. Mark also enjoys digital imaging on computers.

All of the members of AVEX Photographic team are friendly and willing to answer any questions and will shoot to your special requests for photographs.     See ya at the track!
