About

I’m a freelance football photographer working at National League level, with a strong background spanning sports photography, journalism, and coaching. Since April 2026 I’ve covered fixtures across the National League and National League South, including major events at Wembley such as the National League Play-Off Final and the F.A. Trophy Final.

I focus on telling the full story of a match—capturing emotion, key moments, and on-pitch character—while staying fast and accurate with post-match editing and delivery. My football knowledge from coaching and performance analysis helps me anticipate play, while my journalism experience supports clear captions and metadata for editorial submission.
