Running events photography

I photograph running events with one clear aim: to help organisers get more people signed up next time.

I’m always looking for the human side of a race. The buzz around the start line, smiles mid-run, celebrations at the finish. When potential entrants see themselves in those moments, signing up feels far less daunting.

For organisers, this translates into photography that genuinely helps sell the next event. You get a bank of warm, usable images that work across websites, social media, and email campaigns, and that make people think, “That looks like something I’d love to be part of.”
