Places availableA completely exclusive and unique opportunity, in collaboration with The FA, to photograph the Women's FA Cup Final 2027 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 15th May 2027. Mark has arranged full accreditation for two photographers to shoot the final alongside him, with priority given to female photographers. £399.
Places availableA completely exclusive opportunity, in collaboration with The FA, to photograph two finals at the home of English football. The FA Vase and FA Trophy finals are played on the same day at Wembley, and Mark has arranged full accreditation for three photographers alongside him at each match. Plenty of colour and action on and off the pitch, and ideal for a photo essay across the two games. £269 for one game, £399 for both.
Places availableA full day of equestrian photography tuition at the Badminton Horse Trials, a magnet for the world's best three-day eventers. The Cross Country on Saturday 8th May is the photographic highlight of the Trials, offering some of the most spectacular and dramatic pictures of the sporting year, and plenty of room to be creative. Numbers are strictly limited so Mark can spend as much time as possible with each photographer, drawing on twenty years of shooting Badminton and eventing at four Olympic Games. £299 including entry; parking £18 extra.
