Welcome to Edition One of The Forty-One Life newsletter, each week we’ll bring you unique stories and news at the cross section of creativity, lifestyle and culture from around the CONCACAF region.
This week was a bit of an alley-oop as a member of the Forty-One team got the opportunity to contribute to the launch of Arsenal’s new 24/25 home kit. We sat down with him to get the details about how the project came about and his creative process while working on it.
We’ll also be introducing various sections over the next few weeks and doing a bit of polling and surveying to make sure we’re delivering the things you want to see. (you can take our quick 4 question survey here).

On Tap This Week
Atlanta-based photographer and member of our Forty-One Pitchside Collective, Matthew Dingle got the opportunity of a lifetime when he was contacted to contribute to Arsenal’s 24/25 Home Kit release video.
A life-long Gooner, Matt, known on social media as @nomadic_lens, has developed a reputation for capturing the club he loves in his signature grainy and romantic style. That dedication, along with some good networking opportunities have allowed him to catch the eye of the Club and it’s players, setting the stage for this moment.
We caught up with Matt on the heels of the jersey launch to learn more about how this opportunity arrived, his creative process on the project, and what his dream assignment would be.

Pitchside is the beautiful game, The Forty-One Way. Our curated network of photographers from around the CONCACAF region bring their unique styles and spin to matchday photography.
The Pitchside Residency takes this to another level, we embed a photog with a club for the entire season, telling the story of that club’s season through our lens. The Residency is a new spin for us, so we would love to get your suggestions on what you would like to see from a focused, single team series in the poll below.
Our first Residency takes us to Atlanta with ATL based photographer Matthew Dingle covering Atlanta United for the season. Each week we’ll bring you a different storyline from that week’s match, delivered through Matthew’s unique visual style.
Outside of photos, what other type of content would you like for us to produce during our Pitchside Residencies?
