One lens for the whole match? Yes.

One lens for the whole match? Yes.

Fewer choices on match day means more frames that matter. The case for a single-lens discipline.

The camera bag is a trap. Every extra lens is a decision you have to make under pressure, and every decision under pressure is a shot you did not take. When we photograph a full match, we leave the bag in the car.

Commit, then compensate

One long prime for the action, one wide body on a second shooter. The discipline forces you to move, to wait, to frame within the frame — all the things that make match photography distinct from field recording.

"

A camera parked on everything is a camera that captures nothing.

The less you carry, the more you see.
