Inspirational Soccer Photography
Soccer is Africa’s passion, for many years it has grown tremendously, professionally and amateur. Street soccer or amateur football in Africa and South African communities unites people and brings communities together. This article is about me and you seeing in Thomas Hoeffgen’s lens. Thomas Hoeffgen is a photographer.
According to the website African digital art “The enthusiasm and passion with which soccer is played in Africa are inevitably transferred to the onlooker. Internationally successful fashion and advertising photographer Thomas Hoeffgen experienced the same thing when he flew to Nigeria in 1999 for a story on soccer.” This journey led him to exploring the concept of street soccer. His photography is amazing as it depicts the exact setting of the environment He is exploring. I liked the high quality of the photographs. It documents the beautiful nature of the sport.
This is inspiration to me, as a part of me enjoys photography. And looking at this has got me inspired in that In my area there is also interesting visuals on street soccer as it tends to differ from culture to culture in this I mean, the type of soccer balls, environment and clothes. I have compiled some of the photographs from Thomas Hoeffgen. Enjoy :)
