Pacific FC won their first Canadian Premier League championship in early December.
And as a Victoria-based freelance photographer, I had the pleasure of shooting Pacific’s 2021 journey through the entire home season, which also included the shock 2021 Canadian Championship first round victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps at Starlight Stadium in August.
I also covered other levels of soccer on Vancouver Island this season, right from age 4 to over 48, for children, women and men’s leagues.
My year also saw other sports photography opportunities come my way which has helped me grow as a photographer.
Please enjoy some of my best soccer pictures from 2021:
