My gear was ready: two camera bodies, a 70-180mm lens for field action, A 135MM FOR PORTRAITS and a wide-angle for sideline emotion. In sports photography, preparation is half the battle. You only get one chance to capture a perfect moment.
What makes football photography truly rewarding isn’t just the touchdowns or tackles — it’s the human side. The sweat, the camaraderie, the heartbreak. Between plays, I caught moments of quiet focus: linemen huddling, coaches signaling, fans wrapped in black and gold cheering through the chill.
Photographing sports is more than documenting a game — it’s capturing emotion in motion. Every click tells a story: of triumph, of struggle, and of the passion that defines Canadian football.
Walking out of the stadium that night, camera gear slung over my shoulder, I felt that familiar mix of exhaustion and satisfaction. Another game, another story told through the lens — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
