Kickstart Danny’s Photography Journey

Hi, I’m Danny, a 17 year old from Essex with a dream to turn my passion for football and photography into something bigger than just a hobby. I’m setting out to launch my own football photography business, focused entirely on grassroots football, the real heart of the game.

This isn’t just about snapping pictures. It’s about telling stories, freezing moments that would otherwise be forgotten. A muddy slide tackle. A first goal. A parent cheering from the sidelines. The real, raw, unfiltered soul of football.

I want to shine a light on the games where passion matters more than fame, where kids, families, and communities come together week after week to create memories that deserve to be captured.

To do this right, I need your help. I’m raising £750 to cover the essential gear and tools that will allow me to take professional level photos and grow this into a real business, one that local clubs and players can rely on.

What the funds will help me with:

A DSLR Camera + Lens – to capture fast moving action and those long-range shots

Editing software (Lightroom/Photoshop) – to give every photo the polish it deserves

Website & Booking System – so teams and families can easily view my portfolio and request my services

Social Media Setup – to grow my presence, connect with the community, and showcase the journey

Accessories like batteries, tripod, branded vest for pitch access, travel, and protective gear

This journey means everything to me. It's not just about earning money, it’s about earning trust, growing roots in the community, and showing that a young person with limited means can still build something meaningful with enough support.

Every donation, every share, every word of encouragement pushes this dream closer to reality.

Thank you for helping me take the first step. I hope one day, you’ll see one of my photos and know you were part of the reason it was taken.
