Help Micah replace stolen Cameras

Donation protected
Dear All,

I’m Micah, an enthusiastic young sports photographer from London. For the last few years I have been working hard to create a name for myself in the sports photography industry. However, today all my equipment was stolen from me. I don’t like asking for help, but I have lost everything and unfortunately have nothing to fall back on.

I started photographing AFC Wimbledon when I was 16 before moving to University to continue learning the craft. Whilst studying at Falmouth University I have been photographing games at; Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City and Exeter Chiefs, as well as more recently photographing Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion. I have worked a part-time job on a fruit stall, grafting since the age of 15 to afford to purchase expensive camera equipment all by myself, accumulating enough professional equipment to photograph high level football and rugby matches.

I am completely devastated to tell you that today; my camera case was stolen from Fulham Football Club containing all of my cameras, lenses and laptop. I was hoping to photograph the game between Fulham and Southampton and whilst getting food from the media room, my gear was stolen from the pressroom. This has put a halt to my photography career and ambitions, as I have no equipment and have sadly had to pull out from photographing my team AFC Wimbledon at Wembley tomorrow against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup 3rd Round. Not only will I be missing this, but I will also have to pull out of photographing the Commonwealth Games, which I was set to photograph in Brisbane, Australia this April. It will also affect my studies of Press & Editorial photography at University, as I wont have equipment to continue my work. I am both shocked and distraught that this has happened and would be so grateful for any donations, which will be put to purchasing new equipment that will hopefully get me photographing the Commonwealth Games and professional football again.

If you are a fellow photographer or I have ever photographed you for portraits, (if you were playing for one of the very many teams non-league or pro) or simply like the work that I produce, then please donate and share this post!

Many Thanks,

Micah
