Scotland-based Sports Photographer - Ross Currie
Q1 Where did you start your journey in photography? Which Company which genre (Sports/wedding/lifestyle/product)?
I started my taking photography seriously this year. I have always had a passion for photography as a hobby but this year I have moved to taking it as a serious opportunity. I have decided to go down the route of Sports Photography as it matches my 2 passions.
Q2 What Do you like most about Sports Photography? Which Other Genre Do you like the Most
I enjoy watching the sports live in person and capturing moments. I enjoy when the person/ team see my work and like how I have captured them. Outside of Sports I enjoy street/ travel photography, from travelling the world to Scotlands streets and mountains.
Q3 Any mistakes which you had learned the most from? Can be technical as well as Practical mistakes related to photography?
One mistake I have learned from is to check the weather before going to an outdoors event and prepare for the weather coming.
Q4 Any Tips for Sports Photographers Starting their Journey?
My tip would be to just start. I am very new to this too and honestly the hardest part was just getting started. The nerves of reaching out to clients when I first started almost put me off but I am proud to say I done it and feel more confident now than I was when I first began. Another tip would be to start at a lower level and offer free services to build yourself. This is the level I am at currently with my first professional football team ready to take me on soon.
Q5 Any youtube / Instagram Channels or Photographers You follow the Most?
I have a very mixed following on social media. I use Instagram and Tik Tok mainly and try to connect with people at the same level as myself. I do follow more high profile names and learn from their work.
Q6 Any Financial Advice on photographers Struggling to Stay Afloat?
Unfortunately I don't have advice on this. My best advice I could give is treat it as a hobby until you can afford to make it a career. I currently work a full time job while pursuing my dreams in photography.
Q7 Any Tips on How to reach the Big Leagues In Sports Photography? Like Fifa World Cup/ Olympics/ ICC Events?
Don't feel like you need to be there now. Enjoy the smaller stages. Make sure you enjoy what you are doing or it'll lose its interest.
Q8 Everyone Want reels these days? Do you Think Photography is no longer in Demand?
No I don't think photography will ever go out of demand. Sports photography for example, everyone wants to post pictures of themselves in their match or at training. Videos have become popular but photography is still an important part in a lot of genres

About The Interview Series
Behind every sporting moment, photograph, victory, or event lies years of unseen effort, failures, sacrifices, and learning experiences. Through this interview series, the aim is to bring together voices from across the sports ecosystem — photographers, athletes, organizers, broadcasters, media professionals, and many others — to openly share their journeys, challenges, mistakes, and insights. As someone working in sports photography, I’ve realized that people often see only the highlights and not the process behind them. By documenting real experiences from professionals in the industry, this platform hopes to help aspiring creatives and sports professionals learn faster, avoid common mistakes, discover new opportunities, and better understand the realities of the sports world while building a culture of shared learning within the community.
