‘Look at my work

Look at my track record over 18-20 years of taking pictures

You can dislike or like me, I don’t give a sh*t

Look at my body of work over the last 20 years

Do you think it works?’

Jim Marshall

Quote from: ‘Show Me the Picture: The Story of Jim Marshall‘

Isle of Wight rugby photojournalist Andrew Cooper, has a wealth of experience of creating superb Isle of Wight rugby images of Isle of Wight rugby club games

With a great eye for detail and capturing the key moments during a rugby game, I am able to create some outstanding quality images for rugby players to purchase and enjoy long after they have retired from the game.
