Deep breathing, pumping blood, and heightened reflexes. It’s all part of the intense adrenaline of the game when you’re Looking to Score.
I wanted to capture the absolute focus of an athlete who has honed his skills and is ready to put his strategy into action.

The dual meaning of the title plays perfectly into the narrative, highlighting both the athletic drive on the field and the raw, youthful determination where absolutely nothing will stand in his way.
