To mark the kickoff of football’s biggest stage, we asked our Global Head of Editorial, Ken Mainardis to share his all-time favorite World Cup image. ⚽️ His pick: the iconic “Matador” shot of Maradona of Argentina against Belgium at the 1982 FIFA World Cup, photographed by legendary sports photographer Steve Powell. In Ken’s words, this image sets the standard for what football photography would become over the next decade: ➡️It was a very early example of an image shot from a tribune—from the stands rather than at pitch level. An image made possible thanks to exclusive access—a testament to why this remains core to Getty Images’ DNA: bringing our imagery to our customers through the very best access. ➡️From a technical perspective, it’s also ahead of its time—a beautifully executed use of a long telephoto lens. In the late ’70s and early ’80s, telephoto lenses were just beginning to shape football photography. The shallow depth of field here is a big part of why the image works so powerfully. “This image is mastery—of photography and of football. Mr. Maradona is completely in charge of the situation, and Steve Powell was equally in control behind the camera. So, I think, it’s mastery of the ball, and mastery of the camera.” — Ken Mainardis, Global Head of Editorial at Getty Images.
