Family entertainment, not a competitive sport.
This show was a Welsh wrestling event at RJ's, part of Unity Holidays in Somerset — captive family entertainment rather than a competitive sporting fixture. The crowd is in on the show, the kids are gripped, and the brief was to capture that atmosphere: the spectacle, the characters, the reactions in the crowd.
I shoot a wider range of sports and fitness businesses too — coaching programmes, clubs and training sessions, like the work I did for NexGen Football Coaching. This one sits slightly differently: less about technical sporting skill, more about live event energy.
Got a sports event or club shoot coming up?
Tell me the date, the sport and what you need — highlight video, photos or both.
Tight space. Agile access. No missed moments.
The shooting area around the ring was tight, but I had press-pass style access that let me move around close to the action without getting in the way of the show. That agility was the difference — strong, close shots of fast-moving wrestling action in a venue that didn't leave much room to work with.
Alongside the stills, I filmed a short-form video edited into a YouTube Short — quick, high-energy, built for the way people actually watch event content online.
