" The Western Sydney Wanderers are the latest team to enter the Football Federations national Hyundai A-League competition. I was commissioned by Nike Australia to photograph 3 of their stars; Aaron Mooy, Tarek Elrick, and Kwabena Appiah-Kubi in their playing strip. I set up a studio at Nike head quarters in Melbourne. It is the perfect space to shoot this kind of action photography, as they have a fully netted indoor skate arena. With the netting and cushioned synthetic grass I sourced, I was able to get the players to kick through the ball in their boots with confidence, giving us authentic action shots in a controlled lighting environment.
