Daniel Farke
Digital Daniel Farke portrait for The Square Ball, drawn during the early phase of his Leeds tenure when caution, hope, and Championship pedigree still sat in balance.
About the Project
Daniel Farke, created for The Square Ball during the opening phase of his Leeds tenure — when a Championship-winning record and the promise of calm reconstruction still felt like a workable equation.
This version is the cleaner, more direct digital portrait rather than the looser painted treatment elsewhere in the archive, focusing on likeness, posture, and the quieter authority managers are supposed to project before the season tests the idea.
And yes, he is also a gaffer, though not in any way related to The Gaffer the magazine.
A curated image run built to let the print object, surface, and detail breathe on the page.
Open any figure to inspect surface, print detail, and framing more closely without losing the overall sequence.
Sequence note
The closing plates are intended to read like a print-room pass: object, surface, and image held in sequence rather than treated as isolated uploads.
Deep zoom appendix
Print-resolution studies
These appendix plates are wired for the Deep Zoom lightbox flow described in the implementation spec: inspection JPEG first, then tiled print-resolution detail once the viewer is ready.
