“半空著陸 Mid-air landing” / Sunday League: Hong Kong Falcon vs Paulista / 香港足球 Hong Kong Football (Soccer) / SML.20130428.6D.03596

I have always wanted to photograph men in flight, and I considered photographing dancers—but it seems that even though football is played mostly on the ground, there are plenty of opportunities when the human forms is in mid air.

 

Pictured is Marti Rosell [1] (Hong Kong Falcon Football Club #3)’s soft landing after he has headed the ball.

 

You see why I don’t do studio photography? Try asking the model to pose like that—impossible. Some forms just need to be natural, and you can’t beat live action sports.

 

I couldn’t find Paulita’s information on the web so I cannot identify their players on the field.
