What triggered Ian Hughes’s project, Around The Floodlit Grounds, was watching the 1997 film Fever Pitch, based on Nick Hornby’s memoir about his relationship with Arsenal Football Club. ‘There was a scene in that where a boy is being carried on his dad’s shoulders towards Highbury Stadium for a night match. I thought, that would be a good picture to go and take one day,’ explains Hughes.

Eight years later, Hughes took that picture.
