Following Welshpool’s rugby team to Shrewsbury initially I assumed I would be practicing my framing and just adding some experience and images to my portfolio. Instead I was […]

Due to the nature of my holiday I didn’t really take many horse or sport related photos but plenty of landscapes. I am fortunate to have access to such a beautiful […]

Photography Tips #6: Sheep and Showmanship
When I first got a bit more serious about equine and show photography, admittedly I brushed off the idea of photographing sheep and cattle showing.

It’s been a while since now since I was riding every week and seeing all these horse shows and posts from my friends with horses has me craving to get back into the saddle again. Theres something about riding, albeit a little hack, schooling or competing that no other sport can offer – and I’m […]

“Amateur Sports Photographer”
“You seem good with a camera, you should photo some matches” The first time I realised that sports photography would become a passion of mine, I didn’t even consider it an option for me.
