NEGEN DUUST

From February to April of 2025 I have been photographing the Gent Rugby Club in Ghent, Belgium. I focused on photographing youth rugby, from U4 to U18, to capture the level of play and how the game ultimately remains the same with slight differences. My goal was to capture the intensity of rugby but show that they are still kids and have their own personalities and have fun too.

I approached creating the photos in a way that represents the rugby player and would give the viewer a closer look into the on goings of the sport. The chaos, contact, precision, intensity, and determination of the athletes. I want to create a different perspective for people to see sports and action photography as well.
