What does it take to capture the split second that defines a sporting moment?

Nathan has spent nearly a decade working across sport, photojournalism, commercial photography, major events and rural Britain. His work combines technical precision with an instinct for anticipating the moment that matters.
Nathan’s photography has been published nationally through Getty Images, while his outstanding cricket imagery earned him Photo of the Year at the ECB Domestic Cricket Journalism Awards 2024.
