The brief
Visual coverage of the Reggae Girlz through the April qualifying window, ready for federation, club and digital use.
The challenge
Two home qualifiers, a training camp and a cultural visit, with the federation, the players’ clubs and the media all needing usable imagery while the campaign was live.
Our role
Photography on two camera bodies, behind-the-scenes access, image selection, editing and real-time delivery.
The execution
Cover arrivals, training, the museum visit, match action, goals and supporters, then select frames for emotion, clarity and reuse.
From capture → application
Original Ralmar frames appear in the federation’s matchday graphics and in posts by Manchester City Women, Newcastle United Women and Southampton FC Women.
The outcome
Jamaica won all four group games and qualified for the Concacaf W Championship, with a body of imagery that travelled well beyond the stadium.

02Behind the Scenes

Access creates story.

The strongest campaign imagery often happens before the whistle. The objective was to capture the moments supporters would not normally see and bring them closer to the team.

03Bunny Shaw

In our book, the best female footballer in the world.

Khadija “Bunny” Shaw scored a hat-trick against Antigua & Barbuda and headed the opener against Guyana. The federation named her Player of the Match, and on qualification night she finished at the barrier with the fans.

The photographs were not created to live only in a gallery. Frames were captured with composition, negative space, emotion and player positioning that let them become versatile assets for official match graphics and digital campaign content.

06Multiple Uses

One session. Multiple touchpoints.

Frames of Bunny Shaw from the same training session on 17 April carried the federation’s Player of the Match post, its Road to 2027 feature and its From Jamaica, for Jamaica graphic. The photographs shown come from that session; the frame selection varies between uses.

Building a visual identity.

Across training, the camp and both matchdays, the goal was one consistent visual language: strong colour, emotion, intimacy and national pride.
