Statistics

Keeping up with my clients and being unable to drive, I've got to keep fit and am capable of cycling many kilometres and walking high into the fells. I do not feel like transport is an issue for me unless the event is away from the transport I have access too. I get excited when the weather's a bit more interesting but love it when it's sunny and warm. Night time events are interesting!

Experienced on 910 events and photoshoots since late 2003.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of outdoor sports and events do you photograph?

I photograph a wide range of outdoor sports and events, including trail running, ultra races, cycling, triathlons, open-water swimming, fell running and endurance challenges. My focus is on capturing real moments, movement and atmosphere rather than staged images, whether the event is a small local race or a large multi-day competition.

Where do you offer outdoor sports and event photography?

I'm based in the Lake District and regularly work across Cumbria and the UK. I also travel for events further afield when required. If your event takes place outdoors - in mountains, on trails, lakes or urban environments - I can usually cover it, subject to scheduling and logistics.

How much experience do you have photographing sports events?

I have over 23 years of experience in sports, outdoor and event photography. During that time, I've photographed hundreds of events and thousands of participants in challenging outdoor conditions. This experience allows me to anticipate action, adapt quickly to weather and light and consistently capture strong images in fast-moving environments.

How do participants access their event photos?

After the event, images are uploaded to an online gallery where participants can easily browse for their photos. Galleries are organised to make finding individual photos straightforward. High-resolution digital downloads and print options are available.

How long does it take to receive photos after an event?

Delivery times vary depending on the size of the event, but images are typically available within 48 hours. Larger endurance events may take slightly longer due to the volume of images captured. Priority is given to ensuring images are carefully selected and professionally edited before being published.

Do you work directly with event organisers?

Yes. I regularly work with event organisers to provide official event photography. This can include participant photography, promotional images, sponsor coverage and behind-the-scenes documentation. I tailor coverage to suit the event's scale, terrain and marketing needs and I'm happy to discuss custom requirements in advance.

What makes your outdoor sports photography different?

My background in outdoor environments and long-term experience photographing endurance sports allows me to work confidently in difficult conditions. I focus on capturing genuine effort, emotion and atmosphere rather than just finish-line shots. This approach results in images that reflect what the event actually felt like for participants.

How can I book you for an outdoor sports or events shoot?

Event organisers can get in touch via the contact details on my website to discuss availability, pricing and coverage requirements. Providing details such as event location, date, participant numbers and type of sport helps me recommend the most suitable photography setup.
