Paul Hanley — Sports Photographer

About

Paul Hanley

Based in the North West of England, I’m a sports photographer with a passion for the decisive moment — the finish line sprint, the trophy lift, the quiet exhaustion after a personal best.

I cover the full spectrum of sport, from Premier League football to weekend parkruns, Ironman triathlons to Hyrox competitions. Whether I’m shooting 10,000 runners at a city marathon or a handful of dedicated athletes at a local race, every participant gets the same attention. Everyone’s story matters.

Sport is about effort, courage and community. My job is to make sure those things are visible in every frame.
