About Antonio
The eye started on my daughters’ sideline.
I’m Antonio Vargas — a Chicagoland sports photographer who fell for soccer from the end of the pitch, shooting my daughters’ elite club matches. Nearly twenty years with a camera; the last four chasing the game seriously.
I look for action, emotion, and the ball in the frame — the moments a family keeps and a club is proud to use. Nikon Z6III, all over the pitch, mostly at the ends.
