Pre-match at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Pre-match at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Two loves in my life are street photography and Tottenham Hotspur. So why not somehow put the two together? That was the thinking behind the photos below taken during the summer, when I took my Fujifilm x100f to Spurs’ first game of the season against Southampton in August. I was keen to capture the pre-match vibe – be that walking to the stadium, chatting with friends and family, drinking beer, waiting around, or whatever. I hope I’ve succeeded. The key tactic I employed was shooting from the hip whilst navigating through crowds. It meant I could get fairly close to people without standing out too much! There remains acres of room for improvement, but I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The weather was gorgeous and Spurs won 4-1, playing some lovely football along the wall. All in all, it was one of those summer days I’d gladly put on repeat.
