who i work with

I've been on the start line and I know what it takes.

20 years in the creative & advertising industry working on brands like adidas. I've also raced some of the hardest events in the world. Ran Ultras, swim marathons, SwimRuns and Ironman Triathlon — now shooting the everyday athletes of tomorrow, gyms and events that define sport and human experience.

About

Most photographers make you look like you've had a photoshoot. Stuart makes you look like a brand.

Stuart McKenna is a photographer and director with 20+ years experience.

He's spent years working inside some of the world's largest ad agencies on global sports accounts. That's where he learned how the best campaigns are made, the precision, the planning, the high standards. Now he applies that same approach to every shoot, whether it's a national brand or a local PT building their business.

He's also competed in some of Europe's toughest ultra trail races, marathon distance swims and ironman triathlons. So when he photographs an athlete, he already knows what's going on behind their eyes.
