afootballreport: Are you the next visionary photographer for football?
A Football Report has teamed up with adidas Football and Dani Alves to search for the best undiscovered (football) photographer on Tumblr. We’re going to be one of the judges in the competition and all you need to do to enter is grab your camera and capture a photo that represents Your Love of the Game and post it on your own Tumblr accompanied with the #adidasphoto tag.
We love photography here at AFR, especially because Tumblr is a place to showcase such creativity. It’s always a pleasure to showcase work from photographers like Ryu Voelkel and Luca Sage, and now we’re looking for someone who aspires to be on their level.
The competition closes on the 17th of December and the winning photographer will be assigned to a 2013 adidas photo shoot with a player and win a DSLR camera to use on set and take home afterwards. We look forward to seeing your photography on the #adidasphoto tag.
Best of Luck,
The AFR Team

inventfootball: Through Ryu’s Lens: Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan: Oh, the Champions League was going on too? We were taken aback by the Zlatan Show™, and rightfully so. The Swede is the man of the moment, and watching Ibrahimovic in his element at the Parc des Princes in Paris was a sight to see, even if PSG vs. Porto was not a particularly memorable match. Ryu had his camera in hand in “Par-eeee” and did a little portrait of one of the game’s greatest characters. Interact with Ryu on twitter @Toksuede and check his Flickr. Posted by Eric. (via AFR)
