We had the pleasure of having two teams at the ICE Totally Gaming conference this year, with Dom shooting for our clients SBTech, one of the leading provider of premium sports betting and technology services, at their impressive stand at the Excel Centre. Two days of client presentations and meetings were documented as well as interviews with key members from SBTech. Tyson Fury even made a guest appearance to announce the release of SBTech’s new product - The Big Bang. The brief was to capture all elements of the stand and client interactions taking place during the event in an unobtrusive way.

Helen has been a photographer for the last 10 years since leaving a marketing career.

Sport Photographer in London
Shooting sport and fitness in London
In the last few year’s Raccoon has become so much more than an event photography agency and has been opening it’s doors to talented photographers who have specialisms in portraiture, food, interiors, lifestyle, sports and fitness amongst other genres.
As I write this post London is currently in lock down and the majority of sporting activities that this city loves are on a temporary pause. Sports commentators are being forced to turn their attention to everyday life in amusing everyday life commentary and sporting arenas have been recommissioned to help the support efforts. Leading sports people are force to train from home and share more intimate aspect of their lifestyles with their fans.
Photo shoots for cycling, yoga, weightlifting and more
There is a sudden focus on sports that are independent and can be completed alone - cycling or running have taken off and the London parks are filled with lyra clad joggers or parents leading their little ones around on trikes like ducklings. Yoga and fitness instructors have taken to zoom and other online facilities to reach into their students living rooms across London in order to keep the capital moving.
Sport, fitness and lifestyle photography is a relatively new string to Raccoon’s bow and we are proud to be working with some very talented photographers in this field who can offer creative and energetic imagery for our clients, whether that be leading sports brands, fitness studios, individual sportspeople, athletes or sports instructors. Or perhaps you have an active sporting event or session that you wish to have captured to reach a wider audience for social media.
London Lifestyle Sports
Whatever the sport; be it running, cycling, yoga, pilates, weightlifting - our photographers are active enough to keep up with the most intense of sessions whether that’s in the city of London or in the great outdoors.
We are able to offer flexible photo sessions for professionals or amateurs - either in our studio space, your gym or on location. We are also able to provide professional fitness models, hair, make up and styling as well as location scouting to work with your creative team to put together a full shoot based on your brief.
