Photographers are also recorders. In an exciting arena, no matter how many memorable and exciting moments or legendary moments that are worth remembering, they are recorded one by one through the photographer's lens and can be understood and remembered by more people, and we are often infected by the vivid vitality in these photos.

Unlike photography on other subjects, sports photography works are always full of passion, impact and visual tension.

This week, HypeStory will introduce to you several outstanding photographers who have made achievements in different sports industries, and unveil the mystery of "sports recorders".

is also called "Olympic photographer" because of its participation in the shooting of Olympic events many times.

7 Olympic shooting experiences, shooting of the World Cup, Super Bowl , Major League Baseball Playoffs and NCAA Finals, Streeter Lecka used one photo after another to record the exciting moments on the field.

In an interview, Streeter Lecka also revealed some little secrets about Olympic photography.

shooting the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics . Is there any special challenge?

is mainly a weather problem. You have to prepare for different conditions, because most of the time, you will be asked to stay somewhere for 12 hours. If that's on the mountain, you'd better choose a photography device that suits the current temperature; and some food, because you won't always know when the next meal is.

If you know you want to report a specific event, will you do some pre-research in advance to make sure you know who is the main participant in the project?

will also know in advance who is the favorite to win the championship? Who are the participants in the

competition and what they look like are all the homework that must be done before shooting. Photographers will be provided with a list of lens requirements for every project every day, including that we must take care of every athlete during shooting, and everyone will treat everyone equally.

shooting device, are there any special preparations for shooting at the competition site?

The shooting on the arena mainly uses remote shooting. Because of the competitive nature of the competition, sometimes the distance between the photographer and the contestant is quite far, so the requirements for the equipment are relatively high. Sometimes you have to enter the arena one day or a few hours in advance to prepare for equipment, which is really unhurried.

So, in what way are the photos you just took on the field uploaded to Getty Images?

, this is about our behind-the-scenes work! The technicians would do the wiring a few weeks ago, and this process is so important that it can make the photos we just took posted around the world in seconds.

computers send each image we took, and the editorial team will then view and classify the images, Photoshop post-coloring and add watermarks for all images.

You should know that when shooting at the Olympic Games, photographers have to bear huge pressure, and we have no choice but to do all the post-production work of the photos. Thanks to such a strong behind-the-scenes team, I can focus on shooting in a tight time.

For more than half a month, will you have a rest time?

No chance. Normally, work 16-18 hours a day, from the beginning to the end of the Olympics. But it's worth it when you know these images will be recorded in history. This is a kind of tempering and a very precious experience and memory.
