My passion is sports photography. I am 21 years of age and am the official sports photographer for University of Birmingham Sport. I am also an agency photographer for Action Plus Sports Images. In the summer 2010 I was mentored by Bob Martin at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. I photographed many Premier League football matches for AMA Sports Photo Agency in the 2010-2011 season. This is a blog on what I am getting up too.

From when I photographed the ATP Media Round Tables at the Marriott Hotel in London before the Finals at the 02 arena. In this photo I am sitting on the same table as Djokovic about a meter away. He was very friendly and chatty - probably the friendliest player on the day. He’s amazing to photograph playing too.
