Invictus

Invictus Games Sydney 2018 highlights the raw emotions of the competitors, their families and loved ones. Inspired by the ethos of The Games I focused on the perseverance of the competitors. It’s not about finishing first and be the best but it is about being there, looking forward and celebrate their journey to recovery.

The power of sports is endlessly inspiring to me. Capturing so many different events has taught me that competing is much more than trying to win. Everyone competes for unique and deeply personal reasons.
