Despite my very distant view from the players on the field, I still managed to capture with the help of my Sigma zoom lens a few close but little blurry, and who cares, photos of the players and the game’s action.

10 years ago back in high school, I placed a bet with my friends that one day would come where I would be able to watch one of my most favorite football players Juan Veron playing live. This day came true on this final game.

Despite Veron’s defeat, I still enjoyed watching my other favorite player Lionel Messi doing what he does best, entertainment and victory.

Now despite the challenge I had to face working in the middle of such weather, they all showed eagerness to cooperate and help me produce the nice shots below. I hope you enjoy them!

Meet Martina, the eldest of the three, very cooperative and accomodating with my camera.

Meet Steven, the youngest of the three. He refused to offer a smile in the beginning but later generously did, however, he still carried an attracting expression with a mixture of shyness and wonder on his face. Not to forget carrying his yellow ball around everywhere.

Meet Juliana, the middle family member. I had to cut a smart deal with her in order to have her convinced of allowing me to take her photos. The deal was simply letting her assume my position towards the end and become the photographer. Charming!

Don’t be shy, give me a smile, common.
