Race Day Photography

The buzz of the day.

Racecourses, hospitality marquees and corporate race day groups. The racing, the crowds, the style and the celebrations.

Race days are about the atmosphere

A good race day has a buzz you can feel the moment you arrive. My aim is to capture that: the crowds along the rail, the parade ring, the horses coming back in, the best-dressed competitions and the marquee in full swing later on.

I work with racecourses and event promoters on their own photography, and with businesses hosting clients or staff in hospitality areas who want photographs of their guests enjoying the day.

On the course

Close to the action

Racing photography means being in the right place for a few seconds at a time. I plan where to stand for each race, from the far turn to the run-in, so you get sharp photographs of the runners as well as the crowd’s reaction.

Between races I move through the parade ring, the stands and the hospitality areas, so the gallery tells the story of the whole day.
