After 2~ months into the Fall athletics season, I wanted to compile together some of my favorite shots from two games with our men's soccer team. A new sport, stadium, setting, so on -- I had a fun time experimenting with different styles and expanding my photo horizons further with the matches! Both games feature our two kits between them, which creates a nice dynamic and variety across the shoots. A big challenge to overcome was the lighting as the sun set and the stadium lighting provided a range of looks to the shots depending on the location, but one that kept me on my toes during the game and in post-production processing. The photos get used for stories/releases, social graphics, photo posts, and so on. Take a look at the season gallery so far:

Coach Ralph Lundy, who is retiring after this season, was honored before the Sept. 28th fixture with the College of Charleston Soccer Field renamed to Ralph Lundy Field. Although working social media, I was able to get a few shots of the ceremony:

Easily one of my favorite parts about our field is the gorgeous sunsets it produces for night matches.
The new field name, in action:
Another favorite aspect of our stadium is the "The College" wall on the North end that makes for a stupendous background for photos:
