St Austell A.F.C. a club for the people, experiencing the ultimate highs and even the lowest of the low, a great model of a modern day non-league football team. The photos are trying to express the view from the stands and through the eyes of the fans.

​

I have been shooting this work for about 5 years now and there never really has been a moment where I don’t enjoy shooting it, naturally some weeks I do go through far less rolls of film than others due to the match at hand. Eventually I will branch off on to other ventures with my football social documentary shoots, always got ideas churning away in my head but St Austell will always hold a special place with me as this is where it all started for me and my love affair for fans photography.

​

All photos have been shot on film and have been shot with Mamiya 645, Pentax P30, Pentax ME Super, Konica Pop and Minolta 7000.
