Welcome to the world of pennybird and camera
Commercial photography for ocean rowing teams preparing for the start line
Hello and thank you for visiting – my name is Penny Bird and I am an official race photographer for World’s Toughest Row.
Based in Hertfordshire, I offer headshots, team photographs, sponsor and charity imagery as well as storytelling content to build your brand and support your campaign.
I have been freelancing for Atlantic Campaigns for seven years and my communications background means I understand the power of strong imagery to showcase your brand through your website, PR, content and marketing materials so you can achieve your fundraising goals.
I hope we can meet before race start!
“Thank you Penny, you’re amazing and it was so lovely to finally meet you after admiring your images over the last couple of years. I love the photos you’ve taken of our crew, they’re amazing and are a brilliant permanent reminder of our journey.”

Q&As
-
First I study your website and social media platforms and then I chat to you about what you need and the context or environment you would like to use. If you have a website or social media support, it is useful to include them in this discussion.
-
I could jump on board with you, but the images would be from the deck, or you can find a support boat to go out with me on it - it wouldn’t take more than an hour. When you are at race start, the World’s Toughest Row will try and get these images for you so consider whether you really need them at the early stages of your project.
-
Yes, absolutely. You will have a library of images to use in your campaign, as well as share with your supporters, sponsors, your charities and anyone who is interested in your crossing. They have unlimited licensing so your stakeholders can use them in turn to spread the word.
