When I got the call to photograph the Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy at MotoGP, I’ll be honest, I had to double-check it wasn’t a wind-up. Because this? This was huge. The kind of moment that makes you stop in your tracks as a photographer and realise your work has weight. That people are watching. That you’re trusted to deliver on a global stage.

A Career-Defining Commission

Being chosen as the official photographer to capture the Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy during its appearance at the MotoGP event wasn’t just another job. It was a serious nod to my voice, vision, and reputation in the industry. This is international sport. This is elite-level exposure. This is representation, visibility, and celebration all rolled into one—and I wasn’t going to take that lightly.

For a Northampton-based female photographer who built her business on guts, honesty, and artistic integrity, this was the kind of commission that confirms: I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

Why This Moment Mattered

Let’s not ignore the bigger picture here. The Women’s Rugby World Cup is more than a tournament. It’s a movement. A rallying cry for women’s sport, equality, and empowerment. Pair that with the speed, power, and prestige of MotoGP—and you’ve got two worlds colliding in a damn beautiful way.

And I got to document that. Me. A female creative with a camera, capturing a trophy that stands for everything we’re still fighting for in the world of sport and society at large. That matters.

A Unique Take — From Digital to 35mm Film

Of course, I wasn’t going to just rock up with one camera and hit auto mode. Absolutely not. I approached this shoot with full creative force, blending crisp digital images with moody 35mm film frames to create a rich visual narrative that honoured both the adrenaline of MotoGP and the gravitas of the Cup itself.

The result? Images that feel alive. Bold. Timeless. The trophy didn’t just “turn up” at MotoGP. It made a statement—and so did I.

“This job wasn’t just about sport. It was about being seen in the spaces we’re often left out of. As a woman. As a creative. As a professional.”

Why I Was Chosen

Let’s cut the modesty for a second because here’s the truth: I was chosen because I know what the hell I’m doing. I understand light, legacy, and how to shoot with purpose. I’ve photographed everything from fashion runways to raw wildlife in the Estonian wilderness, and I bring a powerful, unapologetic style to every frame.

But more than that—I was chosen because I give a damn. About what an image represents. About who it uplifts. About creating work that feels.

What’s Next?

I’ll be sharing selected images from this unforgettable day—both digital and 35mm film—across my portfolio, Instagram, and future exhibitions. If you’re into sports photography, women in sport, or just appreciate storytelling through bold visual language, keep your eyes peeled.

And if you’re looking to work with a photographer who gets it—who brings craft, clarity, and a truckload of creative integrity—drop me a message. Because if this commission proved anything, it’s that real recognition comes to those who shoot with heart and hustle.
