Photographing the Dirigo Union and the Portland Hearts of Pine with Chris Linscott
Description
Hearts fans — welcome back to From the Forest to the Tide from the Studio in Portland, Maine. In this episode, Charles, Rob, Sean, and special guest Chris Linscott — the Dirigo Union’s photographer — go deep on what it was like documenting the Hearts’ inaugural season from the touchline.
Chris shares how he went from a break as a working photographer to chasing the Portland Hearts of Pine's story and why the supporter section completely changed what he was shooting as the season evolved. We talk about the cadence of match day, the challenge of capturing all the actions from field level, and what it’s like trying to tell a season-long story with images.
We also get into Chris’s favorite moments and matches, the most photogenic Hearts, and the energy that turned the Dirigo Union into something nobody was quite prepared for. Up The Hearts!
