You may know him as Beardy McBeard, the infamous and instantly recognisable bearded photographer. Beardy, aka Marcus Enno, has gained a global reputation as one of the world’s leading specialist cycling photographers. He’s covered every major event, from Australia’s Tour Down Under through to each of the Grand Tours, including multiple Tour de France events, and has become synonymous with the sport. 

Jet setting around the world to photograph the biggest bike races, sitting on the back of a ‘photo moto’ just metres ahead of the race leaders, mingling with the likes of Matthews, Pogacar, Voss, Van Der Poel and Van Vlueten, being flown to the most iconic locations to photographic the latest releases from the biggest brands in cycling … that pretty well sums up the life and times of Beardy McBeard over the past decade or so.

In more recent years, Beardy has added a far more grounded string to his bow and that’s working closely with Leonard Greis of Apres Velo, the cycling tour and lifestyle brand.
