Chelmsford teen football photographer ‘living the dream’ at Bernabeu

Eighteen-year-old sports photographer Tiego Greno from Chelmsford says he is "living the dream" after progressing from grassroots matches to major European fixtures. Having started photographing lower-league football in 2023, Greno became Chelmsford City's official club photographer for the 2025-26 season before expanding his coverage to the Premier League and the Champions League, including Arsenal's away match against Bayern Munich.

Greno began working with an agency at age 17 despite stadium age restrictions, and he recently won the sports category at the East Anglian Photography Awards for a photograph taken at Wembley Stadium. Supported by his father and fellow photographer Antonio, Greno expressed gratitude for his family's help with camera equipment as he aims to maintain consistency across elite sporting events.
