ABOUT THIS PROJECT

The value of an event is the people in the room.

Clay shooting is the excuse; the networking is the point. So the brief was to capture the feel of the day, the conversations between stands, the concentration on the line, the prize-giving at the end, while staying out of the way and letting it happen naturally.

Alongside the people, I shoot the detail: engraved actions, spent cartridges on the gravel, kit bags, the wall of shells in the gun shop. Those frames are what stop a set from looking repetitive, and they're the ones that carry a social post or a header image when there's no obvious hero shot.

Covering more than one event means the library spans the seasons too, so CICSS have images that suit a spring shoot and an autumn one. The result is a set they can use to promote the next event, fill their channels and share with partners, reflecting both the professionalism and the relaxed nature of the day.
