View Finders Photography Podcast Tim Clayton: a Life in Sports Photography
Tim Clayton is a 8 time World Press Photo Award winning sports photographer who has covered 6 Summer Olympics, 4 Winter Olympics, 30+ gland slam tennis championships, 5x Rugby World Cups, the Football World Cup, the Baseball World Series and much more in his 40 year career. In 2003 the Observer Sports Magazine names 4 of Tim's photographs in the top 50 sports images of all time.
We cover Tim’s photography journey, photographing the best athletes in the world, the important role of journalism in today’s fake-news culture, a dip into Tim's camera gear and technique, Tim’s mantra of failing forward and much much much more. Tim also names some of the best sports photographers for you to follow so if you’re interested in photography, sport, journalism or just life in general then you’ll take something away from my conversation with Tim Clayton
