    The TP "Official" guide to sports stadiums

    The Mail's Sports pics of the Year

    This is my personal pic of the year. Right place right time! Celebration shot following Ryan lowe's 87th minute winner that took us up to League One. It's become an iconic image already at the club, and is the shot I'm most proud of as it captured the moment perfectly...

    Dress Rehearsal Photography

    My tips for shooting shows are:- 1) watch at least one rehearsal prior to the dress rehearsal if you don't know the show. 2) Introduce yourself to the director (if you don't already know them) when you get there, and as a courtesy, ask if it's ok to wander around the auditorium during the...

    Football photography past and present

    This is a great book, was bought it as a present by my former assistant when she moved on to better things. Lots of pictures through the years, many iconic images, and all with cameras we'd turn our noses up at these days. http://www.amazon.com/Images-Football-Photographs-Daily-Mail/dp/1405448911

    Highlight of your career so far?

    Sporting wise, ringing the editor of my local paper and shouting 'hold the front page', and he did! I always thought that only ever happened in the movies! Theatre wise, just about to start photographing a production of the musical Blondel, when Sir Tim Rice walked in and sat behind me to...
