JTW Equine Images is the work of twin brothers Jack and Tom Williams of Wrexham, Wales. Lifelong racing fans, their passion began as children watching Earth Summit win the Grand National and grew through the era of Galileo, countless days at Haydock, Chester and Bangor-on-Dee, and trips with their father to racecourses across Britain.
Their photography career began almost by accident at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival, when they brought a camera simply to record the day. The reaction to those first photographs convinced them there might be something more to it.
Jack and Tom began honing their craft on the point-to-point circuit, photographing racing at its grassroots before expanding their work across the sport. That background—racing fans first, photographers second—continues to shape the way they see horses, races and the moments surrounding them.
From the grassroots of British jump racing to some of the sport’s biggest stages, JTW Equine Images gives Past the Wire an eye on racing from across the Atlantic.
There may be something amateur about point-to-point racing. There is nothing amateur about their photography.
