PHOTOGRAPHING TOP STUDENT ATHLETES FOR A NEW ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AT CANTERBURY
CHRIST CHURCH UNIVERSITY WAS SUCH AN EXCITING PROJECT. I HAD ORIGINALLY DONE A SPORTS
EXHIBITION FEATURING THE AMAZING SPORT AMBASSADORS FOR SHEPWAY SPORTS TRUST AND
LUCKILY ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS, PAUL CARNEY, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF SPORT AT
CANTERBURY CHRIST CHURCH UNIVERSITY SAW IT AND COMMISSIONED ME TO PHOTOGRAPH THE
INCREDIBLE SPORTS SCHOLARS STUDYING AT THE UNIVERSITY. THE TASK WAS TO CREATE SOMETHING
THAT WOULD CAPTURE PEOPLE'S IMAGINATION AND DEMONSTRATE THE INCREDIBLE BREADTH AND
CLASS OF THE SPORTING TALENT THAT THEY HAVE THERE.
