about me

IaN TWITCHETT
Sports Photographer
I'm a local photographer specialising in sports, with a dedication to capturing the moments that fuel the passion behind every game. My journey into sports photography started with my own daughter’s football matches; I picked up my camera to capture those precious moments for our family, and it quickly became clear how much I enjoyed documenting the excitement and energy of the game. Over time, this personal project grew into something much bigger, and I began working with various teams across a range of sports, each one as inspiring as the next.
​
Today, I’m fortunate to work with many grassroots teams, providing not only action shots that capture the heart of the game but also unique, themed photoshoots. I enjoy photographing each player individually and then editing their images onto team-branded backgrounds or creating mock magazine covers. These sessions are a big hit with players and families alike, giving each athlete the chance to see themselves as a professional sports star. My goal is to bring out the personality of each player and showcase the pride, dedication, and joy of being part of a team, preserving memories that can be cherished for years to come. Whether it’s on the field, in the studio, or editing behind the scenes, I’m passionate about creating images that highlight the incredible spirit of grassroots sports.
