Every year since 2014, apart from 2020 when we were locked down and the Championships didn’t take place, I have spent a few weeks in the summer working as a photo editor at Wimbledon. It’s that time of year again and I am almost a week into this year’s contract that takes me through until the middle of July.

As a photographer, editing the work of other photographers is a great way to refine your skills. Getting captions right quickly, working to a tightly defined and well-honed workflow with six other editors is something that I think a lot of my peers could learn a great deal from.

I still pop out with a camera on a regular basis and editing my own images when the working day is over is something that I enjoy doing but from 8am until 5pm (and maybe a bit longer on busy days) I will be working as a small cog in a big machine to deliver an amazing set of pictures.
