A bit about me, Al Macphee

As a seasoned sports photographer with several decades of experience, I have spent countless hours honing my craft in various sports arenas. I have a deep understanding of composition, timing, lighting, etc. but just as importantly, I can convey the story of the game or event and the emotions and characteristics of the people I photograph.

My commitment to sports photography extends beyond taking the best pictures: I am deeply invested in nurturing the next generation of photographers by passing on my knowledge and experience.

I also run a small design and photography business – MiraclePR – focusing on wedding photography and covering sports and events for the press.

I started The Modest Photographer blog in 2021 and have published two photography books on Amazon.

"MiraclePR has been our 'GO TO' photographer for over 15 years now, and we quite simply could not find anyone else who can compete, both in terms of quality and reliability."
