When Tigers roar!!!!



I had a blast today and just had to post a few pics before going to bed. My biggest sporting fixture to date, Leicester Tigers v Bristol in the Guinness Premiership..... My mission to take at least 10 action images worthy of inclusion in a forthcoming Rugby Coaching manual published by the Crowood Press......Here's a sneak preview so you can judge for yourself.



In 6 hours time it's more rugby as I'm teaming up with Mark from Sportsshots once again to cover a large kids tournament on Cromford Meadow. I don't for one minute expect the action to be as frenetic as earlier but it's an exciting prospect nonetheless.


Working at a big sports event is a wonderful perk of a brilliant job and my next big game is at Derby County in a weeks time when Arsenal take on Sunderland in the Womens FA Cup Final. Hope the sun shines as much as it did today.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Gemma and Dave  had a love of wide open spaces and for them it was important that their photo-shoot placed them in the landscape where they loved to walk their dogs. For Ben and Ruth the lure of a vibrant field of rapeseed proved too much temptation and even though Ben w...

Image is everything

With my background in sport I suppose it's no surprise that I am trying to make a reputation for myself in high quality sports photography. So last night saw me make the tortuous drive across country to Shrewsbury Town FC, to photograph England's Women's side as they began their preparations for Euro 2009. As well as some great action, and a 3-0 win for England, it was lovely to catch up with a few old friends from the Football Association. It seems like an age since I left to start my new life in photography. Here a few of the results some of which may surface in my forthcoming book about girls and womens football. The weekend looks like being one devoted to rugby photography as t omorrow I am in the fortunate position of being able to cover a Guinness Premiership Rugby game - Leicester Tigers v Bristol in what is being billed as Super Saturday. It's the last regular day of the season so there should be a carnival atmosphere at the Walkers Stadium. Then on Sunday I wi...
