Football on a Sunday
Amateur football, parks, 10am.
Sunday league football - the players, the managers, the few spectators, the dogs, the muddy pitches. Amateur sport in Britain is a social world unto itself.
How to shoot it: Sunday league, parks, 10am in the mud. Shoot the players, yes, but also the lone spectator with a dog, the manager shouting, the orange slices, the gulf between the effort and the standard. A longer lens reaches the pitch, a wide one gets the touchline social world. Early light across a frosty pitch is a gift. Turn up weekly and they will know you.
The output: A sports documentary series without the professional sheen.
Fast shutter for action. Telephoto helps.
