Alex Rotas, Photographer

Alex Rotas is a retired academic and competitive tennis player who took up photography when she recognized that the media was mainly portraying people over 60 as either retired, redundant or immobile. She determined that it was time to shift the focus, instead of bemoaning the absence of positive pictures, and decided to portray the active and engaged aspects of senior life. She brought a camera, found a tutor and made it her mission to be a sports photojournalist covering a range of sports for seniors already, including the European Masters Athletics Championships, the Indoor Rowing Championships, squash and tennis.
