In the fast-paced world of sport, every moment counts. A well-timed sports photograph can freeze a fraction of a second, transforming it into a lasting memory. As a Bristol-based sports photographer with over 15 years of experience, I specialise in capturing those key moments—whether it’s the intensity of a rugby tackle, the precision of a golf swing, or the energy of running events. I have a particular passion for sports photography in Bristol, Cheltenham, and throughout the South West of England.
With my extensive experience in South West sports photography, I’ve honed my skills to capture the true essence of each sport. From football and rugby to golf and running events, I offer a wide range of sports photography services across multiple disciplines. My goal is to portray not just the action, but the passion, effort, and raw emotion that athletes put into their performance, whether they’re competing in Cheltenham or taking part in an event across the South West.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with well-known organisations and events in the UK, particularly in Bristol and Cheltenham. As the official photographer for the Bournemouth 7s Festival and Bournemouth Rugby Football Club, I’ve had the opportunity to document some of the most exciting moments in UK sport. Additionally, my role as the official photographer at The Old Course in St Andrews, one of golf’s most iconic locations, has established me as a sought-after photographer for sports events across the country.
What sets my work apart is my ability to tell a story through each photograph. A great sports photograph is more than just action—it’s about conveying the energy, emotion, and atmosphere of the moment. Whether it’s the exhilaration of a rugby try or the determination of a runner powering through the final stretch of a race, I aim to capture the true essence of sport. My sports photography in Bristol and the South West offers a unique perspective that brings the intensity and drama of every event to life.
As a South West sports photographer, I am dedicated to providing high-quality images that accurately reflect the spirit of the sport. Whether it's running events, rugby, or football, my approach is always professional, ensuring that I deliver a comprehensive range of action shots while maintaining the highest standards of photography.
Sports professionals, organisers, and brands appreciate my punctuality, creativity, and ability to adapt to any sports photography situation. Matt Hall, Brand & Marketing Director at Bournemouth 7s, commends my versatility and quick turnaround on action shots, while Max Lueck, Founder & CEO of 7 Bamboos Rugby, recognises the positive impact my photos have had on social media engagement and tournament promotion.
Whether you’re looking to document a large sporting event or capture the finer details of individual athletes, I offer professional sports photography services tailored to your needs. From action shots of rugby players to portraits of athletes at running events, I bring a personal touch to every project. My goal is to ensure that each photograph tells the story of the sport and showcases its most memorable moments. I offer my sports photography services in Bristol, Cheltenham, and across the South West, with the flexibility to cover events nationwide.
If you’re looking for an experienced Bristol-based sports photographer who understands the intricacies of sport and photography, I’m here to help. Explore my portfolio to see my work, and feel free to contact me to discuss your sports photography needs. Whether it’s for a running event in Bristol, a rugby match in Cheltenham, or an action-packed sports event in the South West, I’m ready to capture the moments that matter most.
