I was invited to capture a charity football match between Marching on with Hendrix and Forever Green. It was my first time at a live football match, but I went for one reason only: to tell the story of the day through my lens. The game was competitive, energetic, and full of moments that went far beyond the scoreboard.
Marching on with Hendrix is a charity created in memory of Hendrix, who passed away at just two years old. Founded by his parents, the organisation exists to support families through the most difficult moments imaginable. They provide counselling, memory keepsakes such as bears or jewellery, and practical help like meal vouchers. They create a space for families to feel understood, supported, and less alone during times when the world can feel unbearably quiet.
Forever Green, a team of former Plymouth Argyle legends, brought their own sense of warmth and generosity to the pitch. The game was spirited, but it was clear that the heart of the day was about community, not rivalry.
From the sidelines and up close to the action, I worked to capture the full atmosphere. The crowd leaning forward in anticipation. The burst of applause when a goal went in. The quick nods and smiles exchanged between players. Boots kicking up mud, shirts streaked with sweat, and the occasional laugh when a play went slightly off script. These moments made the day feel alive.
I wanted the footage to feel real and present. Some shots are clean and composed. Others are caught in motion, full of energy and imperfections. Together, they tell the truth of the event. The big cheers and the quiet pauses. The tension of the match and the shared warmth that sat underneath it all.
By the end, the final score didn’t matter as much as the reason everyone had shown up. It was a day built on care, remembrance, and the simple power of people coming together. This video is more than a record of a football match. It is a snapshot of community in action, of a cause that matters, and of how sport can hold meaning far beyond the game itself.
