Hey, I’m Robert.

I’ve been passionate about photography since I was 14, when I picked up my first camera, a Canon 4000D, while studying GCSE Photography. I later went on to study A-Level Photography, building on my skills and developing an even deeper understanding of the craft.

Before the 2021/22 sports season, I hadn’t fully discovered just how much I could enjoy sports photography. Following the return of sport after COVID, I took the opportunity to become the Moseley Colts photographer, and I’ve loved every moment of it.

In the 2022/23 season, I turned my lens towards Moseley Women, capturing the energy, determination and character of a sport that continues to grow stronger and more vibrant with every season: women’s rugby. Since then, I’ve returned year after year, continuing to photograph the team on a voluntary basis. I’m proud to support the team through my photography and to help showcase their journey and the continued growth of the women’s game.

Every frame I capture tells part of a story. From the intensity of a tackle to the emotion of a final whistle, I aim to capture the moments, personalities and atmosphere that make sport memorable, creating images that continue to tell their story long after the crowd has gone home.

The summer of 2022 marked an important milestone in my photography journey when I was named runner-up in Rugby Journal’s Youth Rugby Photographer category. I’ve entered the competition every year since, each time hoping to improve, learn and push myself further, with the ambition of one day taking the top spot.

Although rugby is where much of my photography journey began, my passion for action and timing extends across a wide range of sports. I’ve photographed everything from football, golf and cricket to endurance events such as the Birmingham University Aquathlon, which I’ve had the opportunity to cover for two consecutive years.

I also photograph matches for Birmingham University Rugby, adding another rugby environment to the range of teams and competitions I cover.

My photography equipment has grown alongside my experience. I currently shoot with a Canon R5 paired with an EF 400mm lens, alongside a Canon R6 paired with a Tamron 70-200mm lens. This setup gives me the flexibility to capture fast-moving action from different distances, while also allowing me to focus on the smaller moments that can easily be missed.

My work has also expanded into videography. I’m now in my second season providing videography for Moseley’s 1st XV home games. Unlike my voluntary photography work with Moseley Women, my videography work for the 1st XV is paid professional work. This has been an exciting step in my development, giving me experience of working to professional expectations while creating video content that captures the action and atmosphere of match day.

Moving from still photography into video has given me another way to tell the stories of the athletes, teams and clubs I work with, and it’s an area I’m excited to continue developing.

For me, photography and videography aren’t simply about taking pictures or recording video. They’re about documenting the journey of athletes, teams and clubs, and capturing the moments that might otherwise be forgotten.

Whether it’s the pace and unpredictability of rugby, the precision of golf and cricket, the intensity of football, or the endurance and determination of an Aquathlon, I bring the same energy, creativity and attention to detail to every event I cover.
