Capturing the essence of the Winter Olympics in a bustling city like Milan requires a blend of technical precision and creative artifice. When natural snow is absent, photographers must rely on optical illusions to transport the viewer to the slopes.


The visual impact of athletic photography relies heavily on the tension between form and environment. While the subject's movement provides the energy, the lighting architecture dictates the emotional resonance of the final frame. 

By shifting between high-key and low-key configurations, a photographer can transform the same physical space into either a vibrant, commercial-grade studio or a dramatic, shadow-drenched arena.


Today, we'll be delving into the world of sports photography, taking inspiration from the masterful work of James Quantz Jr. His video, offers a fascinating peek behind the curtain, revealing the intricate setup and techniques used to create those iconic sports portraits.

Sports photography is all about capturing the action and emotion of an athlete in motion. It requires a photographer to have quick reflexes, excellent timing, and the ability to anticipate the next move. However, for those who want to push the boundaries of their creativity, there are ways to add a touch of drama and magic to their sports photography. One such technique is running through glass photography with strobes. In this video,  BYU Photo's Jaren Wilkey takes you on his journey to capture his bucket list shot of a BYU Football player running through a sheet of glass.
