Balk 2023

Han Balk captures the physical in football from wooden goalposts, to steel floodlights to trains running behind the stands.
He also catches the ethereal, the pyro smoke which carries our hopes skyward and also, somehow, the spirit of the game.
2023 has again been a stellar year for him, buy him a pint at his beloved De Adelaarshorst, Go Ahead Eagles, if you see him.
Here’s Han’s favourite photos from 2023.
