    paper 1st Edition of the Holy Moly League - Wingfoiling event

    I had the privilege of working as the lead photographer for the first edition of the Holy Moly League Wingfoiling event, held at Isle of Portland — a location known for its dynamic coastal conditions and dramatic scenery, perfect for capturing high-energy watersports.
    The event was organised by Rafferty Read, a 4× UK Champion and internationally recognised competitor, ranked 8th, 11th, and 13th in world standings — bringing elite-level vision and credibility to the league’s inaugural edition.
    The standout athlete of the event was Freddie Strawson, the current world No. 8 and British Champion, whose performance on the water delivered some of the most dynamic and visually striking moments of the competition.
    This project involved close creative collaboration with a videographer and an additional photographer to ensure comprehensive visual coverage of the competition. My role focused on documenting the atmosphere, athletic performance, and environmental context from multiple perspectives.
    To capture the full scale and intensity of the event, I photographed both from the water and from land — shooting from a boat to follow the action up close and working from the shoreline to frame wider environmental and storytelling shots. This dual approach allowed me to deliver a varied visual narrative, combining dynamic motion imagery with grounded documentary moments.
    The result is a cohesive body of work that showcases the speed, skill, and energy of wingfoiling, while also highlighting the unique character of the location and the spirit of the event’s inaugural edition.
