Sports photographers on the sidelines of games sometimes find themselves a little too close to the action. One NFL photographer had an unexpected meeting with the quarterback recently, and the clip of what happened quickly went viral online.
NFL football players are known for occasionally pulling out creative and excessive touchdown celebrations. This past Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill celebrated a score by taking over a CBS TV camera and trying his hand at capturing his team's joy himself.
I'm not usually one to talk about celebrities that I keep in touch with from photo shoots. Some of this comes out of professional courtesy, and another part of it is that I'm a bit of a private person. However, a current project and fun day in the studio has made for some new images and behind the scenes video that I think you will all enjoy. Here's a look at the shenanigans that take place when I share the studio with my photographer friend (who plays football), Larry Fitzgerald.
This past Saturday, I was assigned by NFL.com to photograph the Divisional Playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
This year's Super Bowl will be the first to use high-tech camera technology to offer a never-before-seen view: a look at plays through the eyes of players.
My name is Shawn Hubbard, and I'm the team photographer of the Baltimore Ravens football team in the NFL. I’ve always loved the challenge of shooting with a camera phone.
Announced last week, Apple's new iPhone 7 Plus claims to pack the world's most advanced smartphone camera -- a dual camera system that can zoom optically and simulate depth of field. Now the first real-world iPhone 7 Plus photos have emerged: they were shot this past weekend at an NFL Sunday Night game and at the US Open.
NFL football star DeAngelo Williams is a huge fan of the TV show "The Walking Dead." Just how big? Well, he and his bride recently decided to do an elaborate zombie-themed wedding photo shoot that involved professional makeup and the entire wedding party.
Yesterday's NFL football playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings was the 3rd coldest game in NFL history, as temperatures were -6° F with a wind chill of -25° F. It was so cold that camera batteries weren't performing well and had to be warmed up on the sidelines.
This year's NFL championship game is Super Bowl 50, and it'll be played on February 7th, 2016, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California (the home of the 49ers). To celebrate what is often the most watched TV broadcast of the entire year in the United States, Sports Illustrated is spending 50 days posting 50 iconic photos from each Super Bowl to the magazine's Instagram page.
Baseball pitching legend Randy Johnson made an appearance at the NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers this past weekend. After receiving the honor of raising the team's 12 flag as the special celebrity guest, Johnson didn't step into luxury box seats to watch the rest of the game in comfort. Instead, he picked up his DSLR kits, put on a vest, and stepped onto the sidelines to shoot the game as one of the photographers.
Last month, I covered an NFL football game in which I had freedom to roam once what I shot what I needed for ESPN the Magazine (that story to be published this month).
I was done with my pregame shoot and portrait session the night prior, and so I had a decision to make: drive four hours home or spend four hours over four quarters making pictures at a game that, in the terms of the NFL this season, was a little off the grid.
This past weekend, GottaBeMobile sent sports photographer Andrew Weber to the Sunday Night Football game between the Denver Broncos and the Detroit Lions. Instead of the $12,000 in gear that Weber normally carries into stadiums, he was asked to shoot everything with just an iPhone 6S Plus.
The resulting photos offer a look at what the new iPhone's camera can and can't do when shooting top-level athletes in a (relatively) dark and action-packed environment.

Countless photographs have been captured by numerous photographers over the course of Super Bowl history, but only four photographers have covered all 48 Big Games since Super Bowl I in 1967: John Biever, Walter Iooss, Mickey Palmer and Tony Tomsic.
"Keepers of the Streak" is a new documentary film by sports photographer Neil Leifer that chronicles the journey of those four men. Above is the official trailer for the movie.
"I got fired on Twitter last night." That's how NJ.com photographer Andrew Mills starts his side of a story that went viral on social media two days ago. Thanks to a photo that seems to show Mills missing what might have been one of the greatest photos of his career, social media tagged him with the tongue in cheek caption "this guy used to be a sports photographer."
Except that he did get the shot, or at least a shot... and the shot he got is a testament to how good of a sports photographer he really is.
On Sunday I covered what was easily the hardest football game I’ve ever been asked to shoot. In turn it was the most fun I’ve ever had on an assignment.
Seven sports photographers are suing the National Football League, Getty Images and the Associated Press in a complex case that argues the agencies went too far in allowing their images to be freely used for promotions by the league.
A couple of days ago, we shared the news that NBC's Sunday Night Football was going to show you pro football like you've never seen it before: in bullet time. Details were a bit thin, but it looked like a 24-camera bullet time rig would be installed in each end zone, providing Matrix-like replays that would do their best to blow your mind.
As it turns out, the technology is called 'freeD' and was developed by Replay Technologies. And Patrick Myles of Teledyne DALSA (the company providing the 4K cameras for the system) got in touch with us to share some of the juicy details, which we now get to pass along to you.
