When a morning at the beach in Mallorca with Harry Palmer, leads to one of the most creative and terrifying sports photography moments I’ve had so far!

With fuel prices the way they are, it is getting harder and harder to travel, especially for unpaid work, which is so frustrating because I’d love to attend more and more events.

Abstract Sports Photography
Part of being a content creator is finding styles that are unique, but are also complimentary to what you are doing out in the field. This comes about by doing plenty of research, experimentation and being inspired by other creatives. From this exploration, I have discovered how the I can merge art and sport in the result of abstract sports photography and it is a style that has been received well.
