Join Eddie Keogh, Wex and Canon for hands-on sports photography, expert tuition and live rugby action under the floodlights.

Wex Experience Day: Sports Photography Under the Floodlights with Eddie Keogh and Canon

Capture the action. Explore with Wex & Canon. Learn from a professional.

Join Wex Photo Video and Canon at Bracknell Rugby Club for an immersive sports photography workshop with Eddie Keogh, official England football team photographer and Canon Ambassador.

Combining an inspiring presentation, practical camera tuition and two live rugby training shoots, this small-group experience will help you develop your sports photography while exploring how Canon equipment performs in demanding conditions.

Using Bracknell RFC Colts and Senior training sessions as your subjects, you’ll put your skills into practice under the floodlights, working on fast-moving action, subject tracking, timing and the challenges of photographing sport in low light.

Whether you already shoot Canon and are considering an upgrade, or use another camera brand and want to explore switching, this is an opportunity to try Canon equipment with a clear purpose and get advice specific to your photography. Leave your non Canon camera at home and try one of ours!

Ticlets are limited to a small group of 12.

EARLY BIRD TICKET £79.00 UNTIL FRIDAY 20TH NOVEMBER 2027.

Ticket price will then rise to £99.00 per person.

Learn from Eddie Keogh

Hear the stories behind Eddie’s sports images and discover how he approaches preparation, positioning, anticipation and capturing decisive moments. His presentation and Q&A will offer practical insights you can take straight onto the touchline.

Throughout the shooting sessions, Eddie will provide guidance to help you make stronger images, supported by technical advice from Canon and support from Wex.

Autofocus and subject-tracking settings for unpredictable action.

Shutter speed, aperture and ISO choices under floodlights.

Lens selection, framing and managing distracting backgrounds.

Anticipating movement, expressions and key moments.

Reviewing your results and identifying what to improve.
