Andrew Waller

Andrew Waller is a British photographer who takes photographs for the Watford Ladies team, along with this which is where most of his photographers come from, he also takes photos of a local U2 tribute band and of a local rugby team.

This photographs sees Watford playing Yeovil, it shows two players from each side battling for the ball. As the sunlight is minimal he wouldn't need a high ISO around 200 I would guess. He doesn't state on his website which camera uses but it is likely to be either a Canon 1D Mark III, IV or a Canon 1DX. I think that this is a good image mainly because it shows the players trying to usher each other away from the ball. This would have required settings around 1/500 in the shutter speed and f2.8-f5 aperture and ISO of 400.

The second photograph shows two players battling over the ball this is a very strong photograph because it shows the intensity of the match. The photo is a very strong one, something I could notice is the ball isn't completely in the shot and also the advertising boarding in the background is a bit of a distraction, and would be a lot better had it been blurred out a bit, this would have turned it into a much more impressive photograph.

The bottom photo shows one player chasing another to attempt to get the ball. This is in my opinion quite a strong image due to the detail in the image. The main problem with the photo is the fact part of the player, in yellow is missing from the bottom of the photograph. Another thing I can point out is that unlike the other photographs he has actually managed to blurred out the background which is an important part of football photography.
