Photography Events The Outdoors

Reuben Cowell

Telling stories from the hills — through a lens, a start line, and occasionally a text editor. Based in the UK, usually found outside.

I photograph races, organise them, and sometimes run them — from village recreation grounds in Essex to the trails above Chamonix. The thread through all of it is the outdoors, and the people who show up for it.

About

Usually found outside

I'm Reuben — a photographer, event organiser and occasional filmmaker from the UK. I spend as much time as I can in the hills: running trails, climbing, swimming in cold lakes, and photographing all of it along the way.

I've shot event photography used by Amazon, organised the Newport Fun Run — a community 1k, 5k and 10k through the Essex countryside — and made short films, including a 48-hour film challenge entry and a UTMB 2024 diary from Chamonix.

Right now I'm on a gap year, exploring where photography, outdoor brands and a bit of code can take me. If you're building something in that world, I'd love to hear about it.
