Bob Martin
In a career spanning almost forty years, multi award-winning sports photographer Bob has photographed everything from the last fifteen Summer and Winter Olympics, to Elephant Polo and Horse Racing on ice. His photographs have been published in numerous publications worldwide including Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, Stern, Paris Match, Bunte, L’Equipe, The Sunday Times and The New York Times.
Bob’s photography has been recognised by more than 65 national and international awards. He is a three-time winner of the prestigious UK Sports Photographer of the Year and also the USA’s Sports Picture of the Year. He won the World Press Photo Sports Picture in 2005 and just three years ago he was named NPPA Sports Photographer of the Year in the USA.
Bob has been head of photography for the Wimbledon Championships for over 10 years. He is the IOC’s go-to expert for photography and has also supported the IAAF and other sport’s governing bodies. Bob worked with Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021) as a consultant on planning photo operations. As Photo Chief for the London 2012 games, Bob and his team helped manage the 1583 attending professional photographers. The London Olympics was considered by many to be the best ever for photography.
Chris Turvey
Passionate about sport from a young age, Chris began his career in sports photography at his local paper at just 15 years old. By the time he was 19 he was the youngest sports photographer to hold a position on a UK national daily paper. Eventually this led him to become chief sports photographer at the Daily Mirror winning several awards along the way.
During his editorial career he has covered multiple Olympic games, World Cups, Grand Slams and Majors. He spent a number of years as a cricket specialist, photographing all levels of the game including England tours to India, Pakistan, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the West Indies.
Subsequently, Chris made the move into the commercial sector where he has worked for some of the best-known brands in the world. This included a project to set up the first digital asset management system to accommodate the global sponsorship photography for a major company.
Since 2008 the majority of Chris' work has been covering all the major golf tournaments for both men and women around the world for his clients. This work involves collaborating with golf’s governing bodies and organisations to deliver photographic services for advertising, sponsorship and corporate events teams.
