What I do
Coverage that does the sport justice
Event coverage
A club fixture or a championship week. Full-day coverage with an edited gallery delivered after the event, ready for your website, social and press.
Club & team shoots
Team photos, athlete portraits and action shots for clubs, schools, universities and community groups — images that make your members feel seen.
Editorial & press
Match reports with pictures, features and photo essays for publications, charities and organisations covering disability sport.
Brand campaigns
Authentic imagery of disabled athletes for campaigns, product launches and social — photographed from a disabled perspective, not a stock-brief one.
Why me
A disabled photographer, not a visitor
I'm Michael Crawford Hick — a disabled photographer, writer and sports journalist, and the person behind The Disability Sports Network. I photograph disability sport because I am part of it, not because it was the brief that came in.
That means the access questions are usually answered before you ask them, the athletes are people I know, and the images come out the way the sport actually looks: fast, physical and worth watching.
Four years, twenty-seven different sports, two Paralympics and a Wimbledon championships worth of coverage — plus magazines, calendars and a book to my name.

How it works
Three steps, no mystery
Step 1
Tell me about it
Send the dates, the venue and what you need the images to do. No brief is too early.
Step 2
We agree the brief
Coverage, delivery times, usage and fee — all agreed in writing before I pick up a camera.
Step 3
I shoot and deliver
You get an edited, captioned gallery, with the best frames ready to publish.
Every job is quoted individually — fees depend on the date, the venue, the hours and how the images will be used.
Enquiries
Book a date
Tell me about the event, the club or the campaign. I reply to every enquiry personally.
