Top 30 Sport Pictures from the last decade

Whilst winning 2016 AIPP Australian Documentary Photographer of the Year (See Top 30 other than sport blog for images) was my highlight. A close second was Runner up in the World for Panoramic Photography in 2012. Last decade was filled with covering some of the best sporting events in the world. The last few years a change in direction occurred which was not positive for my work with the 2017 Sydney International Tennis being my last event to cover. All was not lost as I still had a few projects I was still working on and my next blog will have the best of the other pictures of the decade.

Please note that all of these pictures have very minimal post production and mostly have been manipulated in camera
