One of the questions we get asked most often by race organisers is simple, but incredibly important: “How many photographers does my race need?” The answer depends on your distance, your route, your field size, and the overall experience you want your runners to have. Too few photographers can lead to gaps in coverage. Too many, and you’re spending more than you need to.

If you’re an event organiser, you’ve probably seen the phrase “free tournament photography”  and thought, “that can’t be right.” After all, professional photography normally comes with a cost, so when someone offers to attend for free, it’s natural to ask: “What’s the catch?” The short answer: there isn’t one. At LW Photography, we’ve built a model that allows us to cover football tournaments, rugby festivals, and netball competitions completely free of charge to the organise

Securing strong sponsors can make or break a running event. They help cover costs, raise your event’s profile, and enhance the experience for participants. But there’s one powerful sponsorship tool many organisers underestimate, event photography. At LW Photography, we’ve seen how professional photos don’t just capture memories, they create brand value, visibility, and lasting sponsor relationships.

We’re excited to announce that LW Photography has officially landed in the North West, expanding our football tournament photography and sports event coverage to every county across the region. This expansion marks another step in our commitment to capturing the very best moments from grassroots sports events across the UK — from the sidelines of youth football tournaments to the fast-paced action of rugby and netball festivals.

Whether you’re organising your first tournament or your fiftieth, there are always a few key details that make the difference between a good event and a great one. After photographing many youth football tournaments across the UK, we’ve seen first-hand what helps organisers deliver a smooth, enjoyable day for players, coaches, and families. Here are five proven ways to help your next tournament run like clockwork, from kick-off to the final whistle.

Running events bring together thousands of participants, each with their own story, determination, and finish-line moment. Our goal is to make finding those moments as quick and effortless as possible.

Photography plays such an important role in celebrating dancers’ achievements, every leap, turn, and smile tells a story. But it’s just as important that event photography is handled with care, ensuring performers are kept safe and their privacy respected. At LW Photography , we believe you can have both, beautiful, professional photos and a safe, respectful approach that protects every performer. Our Approach to Safe and Respectful Photography We understand how important it
