Matchday Sports Photography
Full coverage of a single fixture — ice hockey, football, rugby, tennis or athletics — shot pitch-side and edited the same night.
My name is Thomas Brown. I have been photographing sport since a competition win at primary school turned into a serious habit, and I now cover fixtures, tournaments, team portraits and aerial work for clubs across Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands and North Wales.
In July 2024 I completed a two-year part-time MA in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography at the University of the Arts London, on top of a BA in Graphic Design from De Montfort University. That combination is why my galleries contain the tea hut and the handshake line as well as the goals.

Each gallery is deliberately tight. If a frame is not doing something the others are not, it is not in there.
Every booking comes with a written quote, an agreed delivery date and a licence you can actually read.
Full coverage of a single fixture — ice hockey, football, rugby, tennis or athletics — shot pitch-side and edited the same night.
Squad photos, individual player headshots and coaching-staff portraits, shot on location at your ground in a single session.
Multi-day tournaments, presentation evenings, charity fixtures and club anniversaries — documented end to end.
Aerial stills and top-down views of grounds, facilities, courses and landscapes, flown legally and planned around the airspace.
Editorial features, brand campaigns, product-in-use imagery and documentary projects for clubs, sponsors and local businesses.
Long-form pieces on technique, kit and the business of photographing sport. No filler, no affiliate links.
Scratched acrylic, mixed lighting, and a puck moving faster than your reaction time. Everything I have learned about photographing ice hockey in British rinks — from where to stand to what to leave in the bag.
Grassroots football is shot in the worst light of any sport, from the worst angles, with no second chances. Here is how I approach a non-league fixture from the moment I park the car.
Tennis looks like an easy sport to photograph — two players, a defined court, predictable movement. It is not. The margins are in the geometry and in a shutter window about a fifth of a second long.
Fixtures, tournaments, team portraits or aerial work — tell me the date and the venue and I will come back with a plan and a price.
