Adrian Howes Photography

I'm Wellingborough (Northamptonshire) based.

Sport and Events have been my life for many years.

In 2012, I started chemotherapy for testicular cancer. After my recovery, I needed something else to think about. I started taking pictures at my rugby club which proved popular, I was then lucky enough to be given the chance to photograph a local running race after their photographer failed to show up, and it went from there. I'm now lucky to cover two things I love: sport and photography.

Sport has always been a large part of my life, from cycle racing, table tennis and rugby to name a few. I played rugby for over 25 years and have some great memories and friends from this. I'm still involved with sport and enjoy watching the events that I cover.

Sport can be great fun and a fantastic personal challenge, whichever event you take part in.

Knowing I have taken that great shot of you can make my day and hopefully give you a great memento of your efforts.

I've won the Northamptonshire Sports photo of the year twice in consecutive years before the award ended.

I cover a wide range of events from Ultra runs and shorter runs, along with rugby, golf, football and equestrian to name a few, 2023 saw me go international, covering a 5 day ultra marathon around the Himalyas in Nepal, which I have now covered 3 times.

Now and again I do a little wildlife photography in my spare time including a couple of trips to South Africa in 2022 and 2024.

Please take the time to look at my portfolio on this site.

If you have an awards and presentation evening, I can cover that, having previously been photographer with Princess Anne three times at such events over the years.

I am always on the look out for something different or that I haven't covered before. Please check out my gallery to see what I can do.

I'm DBS checked and have full liability insurance cover. I use a Nikon Z9, along with a Nikon Z7ii, which are both top of the range, professional cameras, along with matching Z lenses.

"I just wanted to say how lovely it was to finally meet you yesterday! You (as ever) made an amazing job of all the photos which are really beautiful! I know it’s your business but you really do go ‘above and beyond’! Many, many thanks from us all and we hope to see you again next year which will be our 25th!!" Stanwick Races Group
