“What I like most about sports photography is capturing that perfect moment that you may not even realize is happening when you’re just watching the sport.
“I also love the raw emotion I can capture while photographing live sporting events or even portraits of the athletes. These athletes are so passionate about their sport, so when you capture these moments it feels so raw.”
