# Charles Whitton Photography

Charles Whitton Photography is a specialist sports photography business based in Corsham, South West England, capturing action shots at running races, cycling events and triathlons. The team attends major regional sporting events across the South West, photographing competitors mid-race and at key moments throughout events.

The business serves runners, cyclists and triathletes who want professional action photographs from their sporting endeavours. Their client base includes individual participants in marathons, half marathons, 10k races and triathlon events, as well as event organisers who may commission coverage.

What sets Charles Whitton Photography apart is their deep specialisation in sports action photography rather than general event coverage. They maintain an active calendar covering prestigious regional events—recent shoots include the Boston Running Festival, Dartmoor Marathon, Tewkesbury Half Marathon and various triathlon competitions. Their understanding of sports photography timing and positioning means they capture genuine action moments rather than posed shots.

A distinctive operational feature is their aggressive image deletion policy: all gallery images are removed after three months to manage storage costs. This creates urgency for customers to purchase prints quickly, ensuring a steady revenue stream and preventing their servers becoming repositories for indefinite image storage. Images are hosted through PhotoHawk, a dedicated gallery platform, rather than their main website, allowing professional organisation of large event catalogues.

This approach positions them as a lean, specialist operation focused on capturing local and regional sporting moments with professional quality.
