COME WITH ME TO SHOOT A D1 FOOTBALL GAME

Shooting a D1 football game is an exhilarating experience that combines the excitement of live sports with the art of photography. At Reser Stadium, the atmosphere is electric, filled with passionate fans and athletes showcasing their skills. Arriving at the venue, I meet the poster crew to prepare, ensuring that I'm equipped with my Sony A9 II and a 100-400mm lens to capture every moment. The game day schedule is packed, starting early with credential pickup and editing poster photos. The anticipation builds as we get closer to game time. I found myself in the Toyota Club balcony, which provides a stunning vantage point for pregame shots. As the game begins, I navigate the field, capturing dynamic plays and emotional reactions from the fans. The pivotal moments of the match, especially the game-winning touchdown by the Beavers, are exhilarating to document. I use my camera to showcase the intensity—both on the sidelines and during play. Once the dust settles, I rush to the media room to edit and share the first half's highlights with my team, ensuring we capture the essence of the game. Overall, it was a blend of adrenaline, creativity, and teamwork, making every second worth it. These experiences not only help me grow as a sports photographer but also connect me with a vibrant community of sports enthusiasts and fellow creators. Whether you're a fan of college football or photography, the camaraderie and thrill of the game are what keep bringing us back!
