Matt Bunn

Matt Bunn is a British photographer who is best known for his football images. Matt works for Corbis Images and has taken a wide range of football photographs from England internationals to the lower leagues of English professional football.

This photos is probably one of the best football photos I have seen, it has the ball and he player perfectly in focus and there is no major blur on the ball, this would have required a shutter speed of around 1/750 of a second the f number would have probably been either 3.5 or 5, when I take photos similar to this they normally on f5 with a shutter speed at eight 1/750 or 1/1000. Since its isn't that sunny where the photo is being taken I would guess that the ISO settings are likely to be around 200, this is probably the ISO I would use for this photo.

This photo shows a goalkeeper trying to save a shot, this is probably the best football photographs I have ever seen, this is because Matt has capture the ball as it passes the hand of the goalkeeper. Looking at it Matt would have been at the other end of the pitch so he would have had to have a large zoom lens on his camera, I would say it is likely that he has taken this and all of his images shown here with a Canon 1DX, he doesn't specify this on his website though. This incident would have occurred very quickly so he would have required a very fast shutter speed around 1/1000 of a second to be able to capture this as well. It might just be the computer but it does look a little grainy, whereas if it was in a programme it would look perfectly fine but this isn't a major problem for the image.

This image shows two players in the same game as the one above battling for the ball. This is also is one of his best image as it shows the tackle being made as some attempts of these sorts of images do actually miss the tackle or the ball is out of shot, whereas here he has the ball in shot perfectly and the tackle is being made. This incident would also have occurred quite quickly so Matt would have had to be using quite a quick shutter speed to be able to capture it, I would guess around 1/500 or 1/750 of a second, not of much as the top image.


After looking over a lot of Matt's different photography that he has done at football matches, he truly is one of the best football photographers around at the moment and I am sure I have not seen some of his work that is even bettered than this, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are many better images as that is the sort of photographer Matt is.
