Sports photographer

Sports photographers capture the action and emotion of sport in images. The work involves shooting fast-moving action, anticipating and capturing decisive moments, working in varied venues and conditions, editing and delivering images quickly, and producing the photography that brings sport to life.

They work for media, agencies, and teams. The role suits skilled, fast, anticipatory photographers with technical and athletic awareness who can capture peak action and emotion, work in demanding conditions and to tight deadlines, anticipate the decisive moment, and combine photographic craft with the sports understanding that great sports imagery requires.
