Jon Wagstaff is a freelance photographer based in Essex, his passion lies in Sports Photography concentrating on Rugby, Football and Cricket, but enjoys photographing other sports and is now entering into other areas of photography.

His photographs are taken in a journalistic way, using natural light where possible and he looks to capture the right moment, from joy and jubilation, to disappointment and frustration – it’s all in the game!
