Sedgefield Racecourse
Commercial Photography and Drone Photography
At David Lawson Photography Studios, we regularly work with businesses and venues like Sedgefield Racecourse across the North East to create professional photography that helps showcase their facilities, attract customers and strengthen their brand.
One recent project took us to the fantastic Sedgefield Racecourse, one of the North East’s most popular horse racing venues and event destinations. The aim of the photography commission was to create a comprehensive library of professional images that could be used across the racecourse’s website, social media channels, advertising campaigns, promotional banners and marketing materials.
When potential visitors, racegoers, event organisers and racehorse owners are researching a venue, first impressions are often made online. Professional photography plays a vital role in helping a venue present itself in the best possible way, highlighting its facilities, atmosphere and unique selling points before visitors even arrive.

Throughout the project, we photographed every key area of the racecourse to provide a complete visual showcase of everything Sedgefield Racecourse has to offer. This included the grandstands, viewing areas, hospitality suites, private rooms, event spaces, bars, restaurants, entrances, reception areas and customer facilities. We also captured the extensive parking facilities, walkways and public areas to help give visitors a clear understanding of the venue’s layout and accessibility.
One of the biggest advantages of this project was the use of professional drone photography. By combining traditional ground-level photography with aerial imagery, we were able to present the racecourse from an entirely different perspective.
The drone photographs captured the full racecourse track, grandstands, surrounding countryside, parking areas and venue infrastructure, helping to showcase the scale and setting of the racecourse in a way that simply isn’t possible from ground level alone. These aerial images provide a valuable resource for marketing teams, event organisers and racehorse owners looking to appreciate the venue’s layout and facilities at a glance.
Aerial photography is becoming increasingly important for businesses and venues because it allows customers to understand a location before they visit. Whether viewed on a website, social media platform, brochure or exhibition display, drone imagery creates an immediate visual impact and helps communicate the size, quality and surroundings of a venue far more effectively than words alone.
As commercial photographers, our goal is always to create images that work hard for our clients. Every photograph was carefully composed to highlight the racecourse’s facilities, atmosphere and versatility, ensuring the marketing team has a wide range of professional content available for future promotions, advertising campaigns and digital marketing.
Sedgefield Racecourse is much more than a racing venue. It hosts race meetings throughout the year, hospitality events, private functions, conferences, celebrations and corporate events, making it important to showcase the flexibility of the venue to a wide variety of audiences.
By capturing both the finer details and the bigger picture, we were able to create a complete collection of imagery that demonstrates everything the venue has to offer, from the customer experience and hospitality facilities through to the impressive setting and scale of the racecourse itself.
It was a pleasure working with the team at Sedgefield Racecourse and helping create a modern collection of professional photography that can be used across multiple platforms for years to come.
