The Underrated Game

Gender inequality in football is more entrenched than in politics, business, medicine and space exploration, according to a salary survey that compared the employment status and pay of thousands of male and female footballers worldwide.

This project focuses on the Women’s Super League 1 (WSL1) in 2018 – the female version of the Premier League. My aims for the project were to go out and shoot at a range of different matches, bringing exposure to the differences in stadium conditions and the community of the fanbase, in comparison to that of the male calibre. I photographed during the many different stages of the game with different approaches in hopes to capture a generalisation of what it is like to attend women’s football matches.
