Lady Rockets dominates over VCU in round 3 of the WNIT game .
I was recently given
what I felt was a once -in-a-lifetime opportunity to shoot the Lady Rockets in a
WNIT Sweet 16 game against Virginia Commonwealth University. I was excited to
attend a college basketball game.
I found sports photography a lot easier than expected. One of
the aspects that made this assignment easier was I could just sit back and
capture the moments of the game with little interaction with my subjects. I’m
slowly getting used to people photography.
I had a couple of challenges with
this assignment. One of them was getting close to the players after the game. I
particularly didn’t want to impose on the losing team. Another challenge was when Andola Dortch
of the Lady Rockets injured herself. I was unsure if shooting her lying on the
floor in pain was ethical.
The sports assignment is my
favorite assignment it is fitting with my love of sports. I desire that one day
I’ll land my dream job working as a sports photographer for ESPN magazine.
