2023: A YEAR IN REVIEW

I often get asked how I got into photography? The truth is I started photography during the 2020 lockdown because my girlfriend Anna bought me a camera as a distraction to the pandemic. Fast forward 3 years and I’m photographing the Barkley Marathons, UTMB for the third time and picking up the People’s Choice Sports Photographer at the British Photography Awards. This completely blows my mind and it’s safe to say 2023 has truly exceeded my expectations. This is down to you and the trail-running community as a whole.

Looking back I wouldn’t want it any other way; I’ve always been and always will be a student to photography and I’d like to develop my style even further going into an already exciting looking 2024. Let’s not replicate 2023, as I look to switch things up a little…

Below are all of my favourite photographs from 2023. They were taken at the Arc Of Attrition, Barkley Marathons, South Downs Way 50, Ultra Trail Snowdonia, Jurassic Coast 100, Serpent Trail, Lakeland 100, UTMB and the Winter Downs 200.

Thanks and I hope to see you on the trails in 2024!
