Sports & Race Photographer in Glasgow and Scotland
I'm André Pena, a sports and race photographer based in Glasgow. I photograph running races, gravel and cycling events, fitness competitions and motorsport across Scotland and the UK, for race organisers, sponsors and athletes. Recent events include ATHX Birmingham, The Gralloch and the 2026 Manchester Marathon.
Races and endurance events
From a 10K to a 100km gravel ride, the job is the same: be in the right place when it matters. I plan positions around the start, the hardest climbs and the finish, so the whole field has a chance of a good photo, not only the leaders. At The Gralloch, a round of the UCI Gravel World Series in the Galloway Forest, that meant a long, dusty day on the trails. At the Manchester Marathon it meant 42,000 runners.
Fitness competitions
Fitness racing is fast and close up. At ATHX Birmingham 2026 I followed Joe Wilson through all three workouts on his way to 2nd place overall and a new personal best. ATHX and HYROX-style events need a photographer who can keep up indoors, in mixed light, without getting in the athletes’ way.
Motorsport
I shoot at Knockhill, including the Porsche Carrera Cup: cars on the limit, spray off a wet track and the fans on the hillside. The motorsport photos in the gallery above are from race weekends in Scotland.

Questions organisers ask
Do you cover races outside Scotland? Yes. I’m based in Glasgow and travel across the UK. Recent events include ATHX in Birmingham and the Manchester Marathon.
How much does race photography cost? I quote each event. The price depends on how long the event runs, how far I travel, how quickly you need the photos and how you’ll use them.
How long until we get the photos? It depends on the event. We agree a delivery time when you book, so you can plan your post-race emails and social posts.
What do you need from us? The date, the location, a course map if there is one, and what the photos are for.
