If you’ve been living under a rock, you might not have heard of ‘Bristol Street Motors,’ a well-known Ford dealership with locations throughout the south of England. I had the pleasure of working with them on a special project at their Orpington/Bromley branch, where they were celebrating their sponsorship of a local youth football team.
The Under 14’s team at Orpington Football Club, nicknamed the ‘Mustangs,’ provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the connection between the team and the iconic Ford Mustang, a vehicle available at the Bristol Street Motors showroom.
This shoot took place towards the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, when we still had to follow safety measures, like wearing masks. Although the pandemic presented challenges, life was slowly returning to normal. This event was a great way for Bristol Street Motors to show that business was back on track, even with some necessary adjustments.
My brief was to capture a set list of essential shots for marketing and promotion. However, I always aim to go beyond the list, looking for spontaneous moments and additional shots to enhance the campaign. Working with such a dynamic group, especially the young football team, meant there were plenty of natural moments to capture.
Organizing a group of 14-year-old boys eager to kick a ball around could be tricky. But despite being camera-shy at times, they were easy to work with and even laughed at my dad jokes! The energy and enthusiasm of the team made the shoot fun, and we got some great images. The final gallery included 45 curated photos, perfectly capturing the spirit of the event.
