I am a sports photographer who has developed my specialisation from an personal enthusiasm for sport in a variety of forms. In particular I love skiing, skateboarding and surfing! I am a big advocate of women in sport and female athletes in male dominated sports. This led me to create a social media campaign and sport photography series documenting active females in a range of sports. I released this work on my Instagram feed and in print back in 2018.
I often work remotely or commute for clients, and will take on clients in a range of businesses and styles of photography. Take a look at my website to view the variety of work I can shoot - www.conniesummerfield.com
