MIU Fights With A Fútbol Team
Comment Below Article | How I Photographed, MIU Soccer Photography, My Blog
Miami International University of Art and Design student, and president of university’s fútbol team, Greg Gayle, leads with a vision to the field. I’m happy to say I’m the first photographer to photograph the university’s first fútbol team. It’s not as easy as it seems.
People was taken aback every time I told them we had a sports team at my old college at the Savannah College of Art and Design; nothing has changed with this one. While in this pool let me splash it out there. Classes like Math, English, History and all of that other boring shit still applies for us arts students. Were not only involved in: Animation, Advertising, Visual Effects / Motion Graphics, Interior Design, Game Art Design, Visual Arts, Film and Digital Production, Culinary, Graphic Design and Fashion. I only wish it was.
I still remember back late 2008 when Greg was telling me that he was thinking about starting a fútbol team. He knew the amount of extra work it would bring and boring school meetings to attend, but that didn’t stop him. He organized the club, got the interest of the team members, held practices and now Miami International University of Art and Design participates in the Sunny Isles Soccer League. I got word that the underground buzz has grown so much there’s a possibility of a soon to be MIU female’s fútbol team.
Photographing this game was not as easy as I thought it would be, but I loved the challenge when I got out there. Some plays I wanted to stop the game, walk on the field and ask the players to re-do what happened; yeah right! You really have to be prepared to capture the moment. You have to keep one eye open as well watching the players when sitting on the side lines as well because you will get ran over or a ball flying to hit you.
The fight continues. I will be photographing the games on the sidelines to help build up my action / sports photography portfolio images. The matches are held every Sunday at Senator Gwen Margolis park, on Sunny Isles Beach. Follow me on Twitter and I will be Tweeting when I post a new article of the games (what happened, how I photographed etc.) as well as reminders for you to go out there. See you at the games and here to read about the story and how I photographed.
