Professional Sports Photographer in Hertfordshire
Sports photography centres around documenting the action, the emotions and the atmosphere of the event. It tells the story of the effort, the trials, the determination and the successes. The images provide a record for all competitors of their endurance and achievements. They also provide a valuable resource for organisers to use in editorials, PR and future event promotion.
Are you planning an action-packed charity fundraiser or a corporate golf day? Have your team made it to the finals or have you organised a county or national sports competition? By involving a professional photographer in the event, you know you will be presented with a gallery of striking images. This allows you to focus on what is happening on the field, track, pitch or course.
EXPERIENCED SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER
Quality sports photography can be the most challenging discipline and that excites me. I love the buzz of ensuring I get in the right place at the right time to tell the story of the event. There’s the challenge of recording movement and energy in a still and I enjoy the interactions and gestures of sportsmanship that happen along the way.
With a background in this field, I have been shooting from the sidelines, long before I turned professional. With sports photography, timing is everything; you need to think ahead to ensure you click a split second before the ideal moment occurs. This is where experience pays dividends.
PERSUASIVE PHOTOGRAPHS FOR SPORTS PROMOTION
What motivates people to sign up for a physical challenge? For some, it is a fun way to support a cause, whilst others are keen to push the boundaries and experience what they are capable of. Either way, photographic evidence of competing and completing the event is desired.
Seeing images of competitors giving it their all can inspire others to give it a go. The determined gaze, the focus, the tears and the smiles of joy are highly emotive. These aren’t posed, so the portraits and team shots have a raw honesty, which connects with viewers. In response, they are drawn in and, at that moment, they may well want a piece of the action. For this reason, sports photography is a powerful tool for promoting future events.
SPONSORED EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHER
Does your company sponsor a sports team or fundraising event? Maybe the local youth team wear a kit with your branding or your employees are volunteer marshals for a charity race. As a professional sports photographer, I will ensure you have quality images to maximise publicity. The photographs can also add personalised illustrations for company reports and documentation.
