Woodstock Fire Station training tower, 2025

I haven't quite worked out the GPS on my camera at the time I took this photo, so I've just spent a good half hour going through credit card receipts trying to find where I was that day 🤡

Oxford Botanic Garden, 2025

It's not modernist, I realise that, but I have a weakness for thin-framed aluminium windows, especially where plants are involved.

Event photography is always unpredictable, and at the Partij voor de Dieren congress it was truly put to the test. From the main hall, where harsh sunlight poured through a massive skylight, to side areas lit only by artificial lamps, and the congress floor itself bathed in dim color lights, every corner presented a new challenge. The main stage stood out with relative brightness, but even that demanded constant adjustments.

Then came the performance by Pussy Riot after the first break — high-energy, fast movement, and the unexpected splash of water from the lead singer turned the moment into a photographer’s adrenaline rush. Capturing sharp frames in those conditions required patience, flexibility, and a willingness to adapt instantly.

Armed with my Canon 5D Mark IV paired with the Sigma 100–400mm, and my Canon 5DsR with the Sigma ART 24–70mm, I was able to balance reach and flexibility. One lens let me get close to fleeting expressions, the other captured the atmosphere of the stage and hall.

It was a demanding but rewarding experience, reminding me why I love event photography: it’s about chasing light, freezing energy, and telling a story that words alone cannot capture.

Yesterday I took my new Canon 5DsR and Canon 5D Mark IV out for a test run at Spoorpark Tilburg—and walked right into a basketball match. A group of young guys, shirtless under the summer sun, were giving it their all on the court. After asking if they were okay with me photographing them (they were more than excited!), I jumped in with my cameras to try and keep up.

For sports photography, timing is everything. These players were sprinting end-to-end, leaping high, and dodging low in quick succession. With my 5DsR paired to a Sigma 50mm prime, I was right in the action—capturing expressive faces, the grit, and the raw energy. Meanwhile, the 5D Mark IV with the Sigma 100–400mm gave me the reach for those powerful jump shots and mid-court duels.

Lighting was a challenge: harsh sun one moment, soft shadows the next. Rapid adjustments to shutter speed, aperture, and ISO were essential to keep motion sharp without blowing out highlights. Add in the physical workout of carrying heavy gear and maneuvering around fast-moving players—and it was as much a sport for me as it was for them.

Sports photography teaches patience, reflexes, and anticipation. Blink at the wrong time, and you miss the moment. But nail it, and you freeze raw athleticism into an image forever.
