As Usain Bolt has just won the 100 metres sprint in the 2012
London Olympics, we thought it was only right to bring up Tom Jenkins who is arguably
one of the best sports photographers of our time. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic
games Jenkins famously photographed Usain Bolt winning his second gold medal,
this became one of his most iconic sporting images.
Photographing sports events for over 20 years Jenkins has
won a huge amount of awards including Young Press Photographer in 1990 and Photographer
of the Year in 2004, 2006 and 2007. Jenkins started his career in 1989 when he left
Newport College, Wales with a Diploma in Documentary Photography. He started
his career working for Allsports Agency, one of the best sport photo agencies
in the world. In 1990 Jenkins began working for the Guardian.
