Photos are a huge part of the modern game. They’ve always been important, of course, documenting big moments over the years, providing visual reminders of what was – both good and bad.
Now, though, in the age of social media, football photography is bigger than ever.
Every club needs a photography department, people on hand to capture every cough and splutter of their seasons so that those images can be posted on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram. We see them go viral, we see them on people’s walls, and some of them even end up as murals.
The importance of it is clearly recognised by Arise, who moved quickly to bolster and improve the photography department at Hillsborough over the summer, and you may have already noticed some of the changes – even if they seem subtle.
