Sport Photography

Sport Photography is a core photography service offered by Composed Images. Many weekend afternoons and midweek evenings are spent on the touchline of football pitches throughout South Wales and the West Country. Shooting with partner photography agencies as well as for Composed itself, live images are delivered to media outlets for global syndication and publication online and in print.

While football tends to be the regular bread and butter – usually photographing in Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, Bristol or Cheltenham – other sports occasionally get covered. As shown in the selection below, speedway, extreme sailing, ashes cricket and Tour of Britain cycling have been photographed, as well as rugby, athletics and even corporate sports days. In recent years Composed has supported the official photography suppliers to the Wales National Football Team, Cardiff and Bristol Half Marathons, the IAAF / Cardiff University World Half Marathon, the Velothon cycling event and Cancer Research UK’s Race For Life.  No sporting event is too obscure or quirky.

If you need a fresh set of images for your own team, including group shots, headshots and match action, that can be arranged. Or if you’re from the sport photography desk of a regional newspaper in a distant part of the UK, struggling to get pictures for an away trip to South Wales on a wet Wednesday night in January, get in touch.

Or you can call 07949023795 or email mark@composedimages.co.uk.
