“We had the pleasure of working with S.H Photos during the Robin Hood Cup, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The quality of the photos was excellent — capturing the energy, emotion, and key moments of the day perfectly.
They were professional, punctual, and blended in seamlessly with the event team. Highly recommended for any sports or event photography. We look forward to working together again in the future!”Cephas, Grant Sports Organisation Limited

“At Derby City Rugby League we have been very impressed with the way that Shaun has taken the brief and developed the profile of the club. Shaun has invigorated the way that we are seen and has provided players and parents with fantastic ‘action’ shots which have provided that extra image that people want. I hope Shaun will continue to provide video and stills for the club for years to come!”

Habibul Liton
“Shaun was able to instantly bring to life the events we've recently delivered at University of Nottingham Sport. We were impressed with the quality of the content and how quick the turnaround for editing was.
With the limited time that we had, Shaun managed to photograph all the right content, whilst making all those pictured look natural.
The plan was to tell a story of the day for our events - Shaun managed to deliver perfectly. I look forward to working with him again.
I cannot recommend him enough!”
