Right now, I am currently staring at images, trying to see what the moment is and what is the story that is being told. Debating against my mind of which one deserves to be in a museum vs. which one does not. I can't wrap my head around it. So far I've reached out to two of my favorite photographers that do great work with capturing sports photography, whether it is commercial, portraits or documentary. These are some that I admire.
1. Sean Berry.

To me, Sean does an excellent job of capturing a moment and using light in a way that tells an interesting story and captures a special moment. Sean's work is very inspiring to me and helps me think outside the box.
2. Shawn Hubbard
Another huge inspiration. Shawn does an excellent job of finding the moment and capturing it in a way that's aesthetically pleasing to the human eye. His drive to capture a moment with natural and studio lighting produces that drive to shoot better.

I did get permission to use photos.
Evan Siegle is a team photographer for the packers. He has inspired me to be intentional with how I compose and how I tell the story better as a sports photographer. The way he composes images and captures the right moment makes him one of my favorite photographers in the game.
