Such a great event. my second year photographing this for UKSportpics. Two days of practice, qualifying and racing, the London event of the Formula E World Championships completes the season. With a unique track running around and through the centre of Excel it provides challenging racing and a wide variety of opportunities to photograph this dynamic sport
After the UK’s hosting Sail GP at Cowes in its inaugural season and Plymouth afterwards, its been 3 years since the circuit returned to the UK. Portsmouth was selected as the venue and they put on a pretty special show with the sailing course close to the shore making it quite a spectator sport and the action close enough for a wide range of photographic opportunities. GB made the final after an impressive first day though lost out to New Zealand who took the honours. A privilege to cover this event for UKSportspics
Thoroughly enjoyed my assignment to provide stills photography for the Elite Rugby Academy interviews featuring Nash Cohen, Bryony Cleall, Delon Armitage and Sarah McKenna at Saracens home ground, The Stonex Stadium. I have never seen the space so quiet though a fabulous backdrop for this new comprehensive player development programme with some rather special coaching staff.

A dream assignment for me mixing work and sports. Quantity Surveyor’s RLB in preparation for the surveyors sevens tournament in May brought staff from across their UK offices to Saracens home at the Stonex Stadium in North London. Warm ups, touch rugby and netball followed by a social at the F1 experience in the evening. Such a great way to bring people together, promote team works and demonstrate some of the RLB principles
