Sports Photographer During The Winter

Ever wonder what a professional sports photographer looks like on the sideline of an NFL game in subzero weather? 

 

Well, here you go.  This is what twelve layers (really only four layers) of clothes looks like over a photog. Turns you into the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Professional Sports Photographers on the NFL Sideline

When I think back over the last decade, I’ve been helped, coached, and mentored by many great photographers.  Like any group of individuals, not everyone is helpful or at times even nice…but most are and I’m thankful to all of them.

You see the games and often see our work, but you often don’t see us on the sidelines.  I’d like to share some photos of these professionals who bring you the great images you see in newspapers, magazines, websites and on social media channels.

The photos are from yesterday’s Steelers vs. Broncos game (October 10, 2021) at Heinz Field.  As you see, we have some fun while we’re capturing photos for the media, teams, players, wire services, and the fans.

By the way, I often get asked what camera gear I use. In the end, it doesn’t really matter. For example, this group of photographers use Sony, Nikon Canon, Fijifilm, GoPros, DJi Pocket Osmos, iPhones, etc…. Basically what ever works!! 

These photos were taken by us (Jason Pohuski, Jake Mysliwczyk, Mark Alberti, Ed Thompson, Brian Cook and me) of each other.
