ECB Cricket Get Set community weekend images

The brief was simple: capture the life and soul of the weekend. The Toyota partnership needed to be visible, sure, but what mattered more was showing the impact, real people doing real things for their club. Whether it was Bethan Ellis, a pro player working shoulder-to-shoulder with volunteers, or Toyota staff rolling up their sleeves, it was the shared effort that mattered most.

I mostly shot with my Nikkor 50mm f1.2, ideal for candid, intimate shots with shallow depth and soft fall-off that gives images a timeless, documentary feel. This lens lets me get up close without intruding, perfect for the quiet moments: a child leaning into their dad’s side as he paints a sight screen panel, or a volunteer laughing mid-brush stroke. For intimate activity shots, I leaned on the 70–200mm f2.8, which allowed me to remain unobtrusive while capturing the full breadth of the club’s activity.
