The TAimages web site was created as the sports photo spin-off from our family business, Townsley Associates Limited, in 2005. And from August 2008 has been operated independently by the founder, Brian Townsley.
It provides a range of sports images taken on Canon professional-level cameras and lenses. Being all digital the images can be quality checked without any film processing, stored and shown on the web - but only printed when needed. This greatly reduces the costs of sports and event photography - where many photos are taken but only a small percentage are printed.
The prints are not produced by us. Rather they are produced by PhotoBox using their on-line photo lab. This means that you can order high quality photographic prints directly from a top UK lab; rather than simply get domestic quality computer printouts. The PhotoBox on-line service operates 24 / 7 and print orders are normally sent out by first class post within hours of your order.
Brian is a member of the Sports Journalists’ Association of Great Britain and the International Sports Press Assocation.

Privacy
As you will see we do not record the names, or indeed any personal details, of any competitors in the amateur races that we cover. This stops anyone searching this site by name, unlike some other event photo web sites. Also the pictures are small and enlarged versions are only available in response to an e-mail request.
Events such road races are held in public places and so there are no legal restrictions on taking photographs. Indeed all of us are increasingly being photographed by security cameras not only in public places but also private areas, such as shopping centres. However some people may still have concerns about having their photo appear on the web; even if it is small and anonymous on this site.
If anyone does have a concern or objection about their photograph being shown then they can simple contact us on images@TAimages.com or images@TAimages.co.uk (or by post) and we can remove it for them. Complaints need to include your name and address along with the image reference (IMG_xxxx, IGH_xxxx, etc) to avoid any disputes about who actually appears in the picture.
If there any pictures that include children and cause concern then parents, guardians, organisers, police, social workers, etc. are able to contact us at any time.
Contact Us
E-mail images@TAimages.com or images@TAimages.co.uk for any orders, complaints or information about the pictures on display or events@TAimages.com for coverage of events; past, current and proposed.

Location, Location, ...
Road
We are conveniently located near the A1M / M18 / M1 / M62 motorways with easy access to the major metro areas - Sheffield / Leeds / York / Hull / Nottingham / Manchester / Birmingham - and the attractive countryside of the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Moors and Wolds. So direct car travel is often the most convenient.
Rail
We can also make use of fast rail links to London and Edinburgh, Birmingham and the South West plus TransPennine services to Manchester. So being on site in, say, Central London by 9am is straight forward.
Air
We also have a choice of nearby flight departures - via Manchester, Nottingham-East Midlands, Leeds-Bradford, Hull and Doncaster-Sheffield Airport. This means easy access to Europe, and beyond, using a range of airlines. International air travel is no problem.
