The Life of a Professional Sports Photographer The everyday life of a photographer specializing in sport, like myself, can be a very mixed one. One day you are at home, and, in my case, helping my wife with the garden, getting on with the seemingly endless list of house repairs, or just doing the essential admin and paperwork you are required to do if you want to get paid for the work you do. Then the phone will ring and you are busy booking flights and hotels for your next commission to cover anything from a European Football Match to a Tennis Tournament, practically anywhere in the world. |

Location Review Rhode Island may be the smallest state in the US and often overlooked when visiting New England, however, despite its diminutive size (48 miles from North to South, 37 miles East to West), Rhode Island and Providence Plantations (to give the state its full title) has some of the most beautiful sights for a photographer. |

Location Review Zermatt may be unknown to some of you. It is predominantly known for mountaineering and skiing and it is a beautiful rustic alpine village which has grown over the years due to its popularity for summer and winter holidays. Located at the head of the Matter valley at an altitude of 1,620m (5,314 ft), the mountain scenery is some of the best you will find anywhere in the world. If you have never heard of Zermatt, you will all be aware of its main claim to notoriety, an instantly recognisable landmark and probably the most photographed mountain in the world, the Matterhorn. The Matterhorn is 4,478m (14,690ft) high and was first climbed in 1865 by the English climber Edward Whymper. |

THE DANGERS OF NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY In Liverpool a bag of charlie has a street value of £5. I’m not exactly sure what “charlie” is but I know it gets you off your face and there are people out there who would eat your spleen for the price of a bag. I toyed with the idea of having my forehead tattooed with the words… “MUG ME! YOU’D GET ENOUGH TO SCORE MORE SMACK THAN YOU COULD SHAKE A COLLAPSED VEIN AT”. But that seemed excessive and even with the receding hairline, it probably wouldn’t all fit. |
