Pain, power and emotion

The reason i love to shoot sports is because it is unpredictable. and in every hour there are tons of great photo moments. Like this, did u ever see a duck swimming around with emotion? power? or happiness? no i don’t haha. Sports is full of amazing emotions, passion to win, tears of joy or tears of sadness when loosing or the enormous power some players give a few minutes or seconds before the game ends.

There are a lot of moments of pain in a match tackling another player, a hockey stick hitting someones face by accident or not. A aggressive fight during ice hockey, or a group of cyclers falling in the middle of a big hard corner. These can give amazing spectacular photos. only keep one thing in mind, be respectful!

But other 2 amazing parts of sports are power and happiness. the shot above this post for example, this is a great photo where the power is key! you don’t see the ball or anything, the amazing things about it is just pure power! But not only power of shooting, but also of running, checking a ice hockey player to the boardings or a sprint of big muscled athlete. Most of the times a moment of power is followed by a moment of happiness. Do not only shoot the shot in the goal but also the celebration!
