Documenting football is about capturing the convergence of beauty in every aspect of the game. When I first visited Athens Kallithea FC, I was immediately struck by a sense of authenticity that is rare in modern football. The club’s ground, nestled in the heart of its neighborhood, and the camaraderie among players and staff exuded a genuine spirit. It wasn’t just about the matches; it was about the brotherhood, the ethos of the club, and the deep-rooted connection with its local supporters—an unwavering bond that felt truly meaningful in a footballing world often driven by commercialism.

Being immersed in such an environment compels me to be present and intentional. I aim to embrace each moment as it unfolds, without obsessing over perfect settings or technical precision. The experience isn’t merely about documenting the action on the pitch, but about capturing the culture and raw energy that surround the game in its purest form. It’s in the chants, the rituals, and the expressions of shared joy and struggle where the true beauty of football reveals itself
