Best car pictures 2025: evo’s expert photographer picks his favourite shots

Over the past decade, evo Senior Staff Photographer Aston Parrott has captured some of the magazine’s most iconic imagery, and this year was no exception. We asked him to select and reflect on a few of his favourite images, plus a few picks from editor-in-chief Stuart Gallagher, from the past 12 months.

‘From celebrating Pagani’s 25th anniversary to working on our spectacular Eras tests, building momentum all the way through to eCoty, it’s been an incredible year, every shoot feeling special in its own way,’ Aston said.

‘At evo we’re always pushing to create images that are memorable, eye-catching and rich in storytelling, and I feel this year really delivered on that.’

Indeed we view the photography in our pages as of equal importance to the quality of the prose overlaid. We want every page to tell a story as much as be its own piece of artwork, that you’d happily frame and hang on your wall.

Composition and editing are important and come as a given with Aston and our extended family of photographers at the controls. What helps enormously is having special cars to photograph. 2025 has been a year defined by variety, with everything from past icons of the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, legendary competition machinery, to the very latest sports cars, supercars and hypercars.

This variety has really resonated, both for us during the production of our content and for our readers who’ve always, month over month, had a properly varied chocolate box of written and visual performance car storytelling to look forward to. 2025 is a year that has reaffirmed our excitement and love for cars, past, present and future. Let’s keep it going into 2026, shall we?
