As I took to my position at Wembley last Saturday for England's final Euro 2012 warm-up game against Belgium, three young fans grabbed my attention.

They were shouting so loud and enjoying the moment so much I just had to capture the moment.

I used a 50mm 1.4 lens to drop out the depth of field, so only the fan in the middle of the frame would be sharp.

Come on England!

This is a picture of Wales international Leigh Halfpenny.

I was in Cardiff to do a feature with the Six Nations star and there was a moment of panic when the studio lights in our outside location suddenly stopped working.

I saw a wall just behind us and quickly changed lenses – putting on my 70-200 – to shoot this portrait.

It's my favourite image for its short depth of field and studio-type look, achieved in a cold, overcast field in front of a green wall.
