Stuart Roy Clarke

Stuart Roy Clarke is a British football photographer who has worked for The Homes of Football and has taken a wide range of images for them for years and has built up a huge portfolio of work. His images have ranged from focusing on the action and on the crowds. He has also taken a lot of images of football that isn't the action. He does have a lot of images that do incorporate the action but he also has a lot of shots of non-action images that incorporate football but aren't action shots. These sorts of images are really impressive a showcase all the different aspects of the sport which I feel is what football photography is all about. His three different images on this page are all action shots but are very different, all taken during the 1990s and all feature players in red, but the top image shows Eric Cantona playing for Man United attempting to show off some acrobatic football skills, at this point the ball is not in shot this means that he has missed the ball or more than likely he has taken the shot. I really like this image because it is something that is not done very often in matches and to catch it like he has is just incredible. The second image shows Peter Beardsley taking a shot in a game for Liverpool, I like this image because it still has the ball in shot as it is heading towards goal and it shows the swinging action of his leg after taking the shot. The third image I really like because it focuses on the defender clearing the ball and it also features all the other players around him who were trying to out jump him to the ball.
