Photographing in the streets around Newcastle United's St James' Park football stadium and selected other locations in 2022 - 2024 brought compelling crowd, group and individual environmental portraits of football fans, both candid and engaged, uncovering the deep sense of identity and community forged through a shared love of a football team.
