Michael Glass, Half Time (PORTRAIT 2023)

This year, I had the opportunity to photograph the University of Queensland 'Red Heavies' in the Queensland Premier Rugby competition. Many teams head toward the sheds or the dressing room for the half time break. The 'Red Heavies' would remain on the field, regardless of the weather. The longer the season progressed, the more confident I became in approaching the huddles and listening to the half time speeches from the coaches. I would use a long lens, either my 100-400 mm, or a 70-200 mm. I'm sure that these players weren't looking directly at me; All of them, lost in thought while the coach speaks.
