“Damn right, I miss the Learjet,” says Walter Iooss Jr., the legendary Sports Illustrated photographer who will be shooting his 50th straight Super Bowl on February 7. Back at Super Bowl I, which was played on January 15, 1967 in Los Angeles, the magazine chartered two airplanes to shuttle film back to New York in time for the magazine’s close
I roamed the stadium playing with shutter speed, lenses, and such to see what I could grab for stock, but moreover just visual practice finding details and making photos that I enjoy and that wouldn’t normally be made. I was half successful, but in the end, this edit is a little more interesting than what game action would have been I’m sure.

The NFL’s regular season kicked off last week, and on Sunday, when the Cardinals took on the Saints at home in Phoenix, another game kicked off on the sidelines. The game Cardinals chief photographer Gene Lower plays against himself.

‘My travels took me to Winnipeg, Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal and back to Vancouver. I learned when I was in Montreal that five years of my life studying French did not help!’
Here’s a 2-minute behind-the-scenes video by Monica Herndon that shows how photojournalist Dirk Shadd of the Tampa Bay Times photographs the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team of the NHL.
On the passenger seat of a press motorbike, Cipriani started shooting fans in 2013, when Tour organizers celebrated the 100th edition of the race. His purpose was to draw a “portrait of France” through fans from all origins who have contributed to make the Tour not only one of the biggest sporting competitions, but also a cultural event.
In a move that reflects a shifting media landscape, Swindon Town F.C. has largely barred reporters from interviewing players and coaches, and it plans to provide its own content.
Lee Power, the Swindon owner, who put the policy in place, acknowledged the irony of giving an interview to explain the decision but defended the policy because, he said, “at the end of the day, the local paper needs the football club more than the football club needs the local paper.”
It’s a sport/game/leisure activity so simple that I always feel vaguely self-conscious actually explaining it out loud: “Well, you, um, try to knock down pins with a ball.”
It’s a “pastime” in the truest sense of the word in that only a species with so much time to pass could have devised and named it. It’s a sport/game/leisure activity so simple that I always feel vaguely self-conscious actually explaining it out loud: “Well, you, um, try to knock down pins with a ball.” And as a subject, it is probably undeserving of hard contemplative thought or, more germane to what you’re looking at right now, an exploration of its universe via words and photographs.
Johnson, who will enter the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, has spent his retirement photographing subjects in locales like Botswana and Guantánamo Bay.

The Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2015 received thousands of entries from photographers all over the world. This video shows the portfolios of the award winners and finalists
“This isn’t conventional sports photography,” explained Pellizzari in an interview conducted via email. Rather than focusing on the athlete(s), this Italian-born Belgium resident has “opted for a wider view like a stage play. It allows each aspect [of a sporting event] to be examined: the competitors as well as the spectators.” To capture this wider view, the photographer uses the German-made Noblex swing-lens panoramic camera and Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H film in the 120 medium format.
Always fun when an photo editor emails you and asks if you can take a punch. I don’t. I do, however, know how to curl up into a ball and cry, which is what would happen if I did actually step into the ring with this guy. MMA fighter Anthony “Rumble” Johnson let ESPN the Mag and myself follow him for a couple days in preparation for UFC 187 in Vegas this Friday.
I’ve never shot IndyCar before this shoot for the fine folks at The Player’s Tribune, but what I learned in a couple days of running around the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg reaffirmed everything I thought it would be from covering other racing: it’s extremely loud, painfully hot, but so much fun to shoot
Rich Clarkson has been photographing the NCAA Championships for six decades. Clarkson’s work is a catalog of some on the single greatest athletes and coaches to ever emerge from college basketball, many transcending their legacy beyond by playing in the professional NBA league
“In Russia, wrestling is considered cruel — and Western,” said Pavel Volkov, a photographer. “Convincing landlords is not an easy sell.” His latest work, “Wrestling in Moscow,” is a deep dive into the underground Russian scene, and it captures performers and fans who fight and clamor for a sport that lives in shadows.
Teenagers Rusty and Ryder Wright are the youngest generation of champions from a Utah family that has dominated the classic rodeo event of saddle-bronc riding.
The New York Times spent a year following three generations of Wrights through the seasons of rodeo and ranching. The photographer Josh Haner and I spent much of that time with the youngest generation, just now moving into the family’s dual interests in bucking horses and beef cattle.
