Background
Sports photography has been an interest of mine since switching to digital photography
and SLR equipment in 2006. While my main area of interest and expertise is motorsports
the techniques and experience I have developed in that area are applicable to many
other forms of fast action sport.
My experience to date includes rally and circuit based motorsports, speedway, extreme
sports and football photography, but I’m always keen and willing to try other types
of sport. Some of my motorsports and rally work has been published and I have provided
images for the website of my local Eastbourne Eagles speedway team.
For the 2008/2009 season I will be working with Eastbourne Town Football Club to
cover some of their home matches.
I use the latest professional Canon equipment which includes two digital SLR bodies
and a range of high quality lenses that allow me to be flexible in my approach to
photography. My goal is to create intense and exciting action images that fully
demonstrate the sport to the viewer. I look for attention-grabbing angles and avoid
the common approach of ‘freezing’ images by using slower shutter speeds to incorporate
a degree of realistic motion blur (while maintaining a sharp overall image) to embody
the action taking place.
