# Mick Atkins Photography
Mick Atkins Photography is a specialist horse racing and sports photography business based in Taynuilt, Scotland, with an exceptional reputation across the equestrian industry. The photographer captures the split-second drama of both flat racing and steeplechase events, utilising professional-grade equipment operating at 1/1000th of a second shutter speeds to freeze the most crucial moments in racing history.
The business maintains an extraordinary archive of over 960,000 images dating back to 2010, with 10,000+ publicly viewable on their website. They've documented victories by prestigious horses including Enable, Stradivarius, Golden Horn and Desert Crown, whilst regularly supplying imagery to elite racing operations including Godolphin, Al Shaqab Racing and Ballydoyle. Their work has been featured in the Royal Household's collections and appears consistently in leading horse racing publications and sales catalogues.
What distinguishes Mick Atkins Photography is their dual membership of The Horse Race Writers & Photographers Association and The Sports Journalists Association, validating their professional standing. Beyond archive sales, they offer bespoke portrait collaborations with jockeys, trainers and owners. Their comprehensive picture search facility and venue-specific galleries make locating specific horses or race meetings straightforward for media outlets, corporate clients and private individuals worldwide.
The business combines technical excellence with deep industry expertise, delivering high-quality editorial and commercial imagery that captures the raw power, grace and historical significance of racing sport.
