Every Good Friday in the English village of Chiddingstone, two teams of around 200 players battle it out across open fields, country roads and riverbanks. The game lasts four hours, has very few rules, and the goals are over a mile apart. It's a centuries-old tradition that's as much about the community as it is about football.
I discovered Real Football while living in London and researching British traditions. I was curious about these strange customs that have survived for generations, and the people who continue to take part in them.
I ran with the players, chased the ball through muddy paddocks and climbed over stone fences. At one point, I even had to push the ball out of my way to avoid becoming part of the game.
The project became a 68-page, self-published photobook, produced in a limited edition of 100 copies, with a removable dust jacket that doubles as a poster. The book was launched at BTWNLNS in Sydney.
