ON THIS MONTH: FOOTBALL James Boyes Lewes FC photographer Photo by James Boyes I’m celebrating my tenth anniversary as official Lewes FC photographer this year: my first season was in 2007/08, when Steve King’s team won promotion to the National Conference. I’ve photographed almost all of the home and away fixtures since, and more and more of the women’s team fixtures, too. Apart from an adult education Photography A-Level at Sussex Downs I’m pretty much selftaught. I’ve learnt on the job, basically. A lot of trial and error. I usually take about 700 pictures a match – approximately one every eight seconds - and of these about a third are worth keeping, which I post on flickr afterwards. I have no idea if this is a normal sort of ratio. For the men’s home games I also write a short match report for the Non-League Paper. I watch the game, but unlike other fans I’m not following the ball, I’m tracking players through the lens. Sometimes I don’t know it’s a goal until I hear the crowd’s reaction, then I’m busy capturing the celebrations. It’s the emotions that really make the picture, which is why goal celebrations are so good. My favourite ever shot was of Lewes’ David Wheeler reeling away after scoring a late goal against Braintree with an opposition player lying dejected on the floor. Pictures with players celebrating with the fans are usually pretty good, too. Big Deaksie and Cynical Dave are always there or thereabouts when the ball goes in the net. My camera equipment has improved since I started, but as this is a hobby I can’t afford the sort of really long zoom lenses the pros use. This means I can’t capture action on the other side of the pitch. This becomes worse for night matches, though a bit of post-production always helps. The sharpening tool is my best friend. Lewes’ floodlights were bought with the proceeds of a Pink Floyd concert in the Town Hall in the 60s, so while I’ve seen worse – especially at the level we’re at now – I can’t wait until they’re replaced, because it’s all about the light. I hardly ever watch a Lewes game without my camera. I go to Brighton sometimes as a fan: I always end up envying the guys taking the shots, and wishing I was down pitch-side. It can get very cold on the touchline, and very wet. In winter I wear a waterproof jacket and leggings. I look like the Michelin Man, but I’m not moving very much - I usually choose a spot and stay there for a while – so believe me it’s worth it. Would I want to do the job professionally? I’m not sure. At the moment there’s no pressure on me. If I don’t get the money shot, nobody minds – except me. As told to Alex Leith For Lewes Men’s and Women’s home and away fixtures, check out the club website. Look out for ‘Boyesie’ on the touchline – he’ll be there. flickr.com/photos/jamesboyes 37
