Beyond the
usual picture.

OKX wanted something different from the standard football imagery of a sponsorship campaign. Working with the creative team, I shaped each portrait around what makes its subject unique, while keeping a coherent visual language across the series.

Personal direction.
Consistent light.

Access to sporting talent brings time pressure. Clear direction and a consistent lighting approach helped each player’s personality come through, without losing the shared campaign style. As a sports photographer based in London, that balance between individual character and a cohesive set of assets is central to the work.

The Brief

OKX wanted to move beyond the standard football imagery that accompanies most sponsorship campaigns. The My Fabric campaign explored what makes each player and coach unique, creating portraits that felt more like artwork than traditional sports photography.

The Challenge

Photograph some of the biggest names in world football while creating a distinctive visual style that reflected the campaign's concept. Every portrait needed its own personality while remaining consistent across the wider campaign.


The Solution

Working closely with the creative team, each portrait was designed around the My Fabric concept. A consistent lighting approach and thoughtful direction created a series of individual portraits that worked together as a cohesive campaign.
