Tom Shaw is an award winning sports and portrait photographer. He spent the early part of his career as a staff photographer at Getty Images where he worked exclusively as a cricket photographer working with the England cricket team. Since leaving Getty Images over a decade ago he has established himself as a commercial photographer working with sports brands and governing bodies across the globe.

This project is a portrait of the game of cricket from across the country. The cricketing landscape has been shaped over the years by the diaspora from cricket-playing nations across the world who have brought their own passions, styles and traditions to the game. The aim is to move the narrative along from being solely the rural, leafy village green and to meet the players, spectators, volunteers, ground staff and everyone else who make the game what it is today.
