Behind the Assignment

Commissioned to create ongoing content throughout the Red Roses' World Cup preparation, this project focused on delivering social-first imagery for players' personal channels. Rather than documenting match days, the work centred on training camps, recovery sessions, gym work and the quieter moments between sessions—building a library of authentic content that reflected the personalities and professionalism behind international rugby.

Editorial, commercial and sports photography throughout the UK and internationally.
