Goal! 10 Amazing Photos Taken at Soccer Matches

A great photographer can find inspiration anywhere. And you never know when it might strike. When others might be kicking back and relaxing, some artists go to work.

One of the things that unites us all worldwide is our love for sports, particularly being in the crowd cheering on the home team. Soccer stadiums have been known to draw some, uhm, eccentric people and even more questionable behavior. But they are also a great landscape for energy, excitement and emotions. Photographers who bring along their camera to big matches will discover the wondrous world of soccer, even if they don’t have a great affinity for the sport itself.

How do you get the right shot though? Professionals suggest making sure to capture not only the action on the field, but the expressiveness all around you. So much is happening all at once at every moment of a match; there’s bound to be something that catches your eye. Even during timeouts.

Still, be sure to keep one eye open to the game because a player may score the game’s only goal just as you peek elsewhere. Here are some amazing shots that Shutterstock contributors have taken while covering soccer matches:
