Marc Aspland

Marc Aspland is a photographer who is best known for his Premier League and international football photography.

This first image is of a match between QPR and Man City, here the photographer would have had to use a very high shutter speed in excess of 1/750 of a second especially if the keeper hit the ball out of the net, this is because the shot and the reactions would have occurred very quickly and the photographer would have had to take a couple of images quickly and then achieved this specific image.

This image wouldn't have been as difficult as the top image to capture. This is because the action wouldn't as quick as the top image but as he jumps into the air celebrating would have occurred quite quickly and this is where the photographer would have had to have a quick shutter speed to be able to capture the player whilst still in the air and I feel that they have Marc has done a really good job in capturing the photograph as he has done as it is easy to try and capture this image and get it wrong and the player is blurred.

This technique used in this image, tilt-shift give it the effect that it looks like an inanimate object like a toy someone has put together but this is an actual England match at Wembley. This technique is not often used at football matches, but I do feel that it would be brilliant if more photographers attempted this at football games. This makes the photos really interesting, I would love to see more photographers and not just Marc attempt this sort of image at football matches.
