James Bunn Lecture: The Power of Sport talk with Peter Milsom

Peter took up photography seriously in 2006 following 18 years of competitive athletics and coaching. His first efforts were directed at the sports events he was familiar with, and he gradually extended these to other sports including canoe slalom, jetski racing and various para sports.
Peter is on personal terms with many of the athletes, and provides photographs to help them improve their technique. His aim is to capture those special moments during the highs and lows of sport and the efforts and emotions shown in achieving a world class performance.
He is often granted media accreditation to major events which allow him to capture Images of world class athletes from the best vantage points.
