BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The National Corvette Museum opened a new automotive photography exhibit.
Corvette Hall of Fame photographer, Richard Prince, is the man behind the exhibit. He said, “On the surface, it’s an exhibit of my photography.”
But the “Speed Captured” exhibit is more than just pictures. Prince has been taking car photos for over 30 years, and showcases stories through the beauty of the Corvette.
“When people out there appreciate what I’ve done and give me positive feedback, it means more to me than words can describe,” Prince said.
Each portrait showcases the beauty of the scene and includes information on how the image was captured.
Robert Maxhimer, the director of curatorial affairs and education of the National Corvette Museum, said, “The shutter speed, which camera was used, the lens, the ISO.”
People come from all over the country to get a firsthand look at Prince’s photography.
Dwayne Siegmann said, “The perspective he uses to capture he uses is fantastic. It’s obviously professional.”
“It’s awesome, it’s more than I expected,” Rob Hardin, another visitor, said.
Last year, Prince was inducted to the Corvette Hall of Fame.
But despite his professional success, the photographer remains humble.
Prince said, “At the end of the day, I’m not doing heart transplants, I’m not saving people’s lives.”
But when people travel from all over the state and even the country, he can’t help but express immense gratitude.
“It’s super, super heartwarming and gratifying for me,” Prince said.
The museum exhibit doesn’t just feature photography. It also showcases several cars, including the 2025 Corvette ZR1, 2019 Corvette ZR1, and the 1966 Corvette Stingray. The exhibition runs through Jan. 2026.
