London Youth Games

by phil hutchinson, posted in events, Sports

Three years and some thirty events later I am constantly in awe of both what London Youth Games offer the young involved in sport, and the quality and passion that the events display. A perfect setting to photograph London’s future sporting great. This event is their Basketball qualifier held at the UEL Sportsdock last month.

by phil hutchinson, posted in events, Sports

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.

by phil hutchinson, posted in events, London, office, Sports

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
