Most photographers are behind the camera for a reason; that’s usually because no one wants to see us in front of the camera, we aren’t the prettiest subjects!

FTBL managed to catch up with award winning sports photographer Eric Berry at his first exhibition of football and fan photos at the Riverside Theatre.

It was a rare opportunity to even snap a few photos of him too.

Eric can regularly be found wandering the pitch at Western Sydney Wanderers matches snapping the action as well as the atmosphere and crowd.

The exhibition shows the diversity of football within the country. You can relive memories of matches and feel the atmosphere of game day with the fans.

Limited numbered prints are available for purchase during the exhibition.

The highlight of the exhibition is a frame with two prints. One photo taken by Wanderers #11 Brendon Santalab of the RBB celebrating one of his record breaking goals, the second photo is taken by Eric of Santalab taking his photo of the RBB. Essentially a photo in a photo! Proceeds from the sale of the limited 5 prints go to Ronald McDonald House.

His exhibition supports the Riverside Theatre production of ‘Smurf in Wanderland’, a philosophical view of football, tribalism, belonging and identity by writer, performer and football tragic David Williams.
