Event Details:
Ian Rice was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis in his 40s and became a wheelchair user at the end of 2016.
Later, he took up photography as a hobby to help with well-being, especially after redundancy from a career in finance and energy.
This coping mechanism grew into his profession, taking commissions from the Royal Ballet to England Cricket, as well as acquiring a huge portfolio of wildlife photography which has taken him as far as conservation projects in Africa.
This summer, as all eyes focused on the Paralympics, Ian took his dream job on the courtsides and finish lines in venues across Paris to capture the biggest Para sporting event of the year for Agence France-Presse.

Join us as we hear from Ian about his Paralympic story and how he approaches his art creatively to capture some of the most iconic sporting images of the summer.

Abut the Speaker:
**Ian Rice** is a photographer based in the UK and France. Ian’s wheelchair enables him to photograph subjects from a different perspective and also encourages him to travel light. Most recently Ian was an official photographer for the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
