There aren’t levels to football fan culture photography per se, but styles of playing the game, like there are on the field.
The eager youngster snaps into every tackle, precocious but not yet proficient. Chasing the ball instead of making space.
Han Balk, the Dutch maestro, finds quiet in the melee, you’ll barely know he’s there during the game but you’ll know after.
Here’s some of the best of his 2024 for Terrace Edition.
