Stadium — Champions League Night, 2005 1

Two friends — a young person with short dark hair and warm brown skin, and a stocky white guy with a buzzcut and patchy stubble, face painted in club colors, wearing a replica home jersey two sizes too big — both holding a red scarf stretched between them above their heads, mouths wide open mid-chant, eyes squeezed with passion. Both in matching red home jerseys with Carlsberg sponsor and Reebok logo. The packed stadium stand around them — every fan has scarves raised, a sea of red fabric and open mouths. Stadium floodlights above create white halos through the night sky. The pitch barely visible below, bright green under the floods. Flash from a fan behind them, catching the scarf fabric and their strained necks. Heavy film grain, slight yellow-green color shift, the red jerseys and scarves the most vivid elements. The photo slightly tilted — the photographer was standing on a seat . Natural skin texture with subtle pores and micro-imperfections, organic asymmetry in features.
