Bruce Bennett has been shooting with seven cameras at Canada Hockey Place in Vancouver: three at arm’s reach, with lenses of various sizes; two mounted in the rafters, pointing down to the goals; one clamped to the stanchion that holds the goal-indicator light behind a net; and one inside the net itself. “It’s kind of like playing piano,” said Mr. Bennett, who is the director of photography for hockey imagery at Getty Images.
