Concentration

My goal was emphasize the importance of celebration in athletics. Many components come with being an athlete - the preparation, relentless determination, grit, tenacity, concentration, fearlessness and spirit. In the end, all of this hard work is for one sole reason: the love of the game. In the midst of pure joy, all of the puzzle pieces fit together. Guts always comes before glory, and the rewarding positive energy is a feeling that compares to no other. 

I really enjoyed capturing the positive energy and enthusiasm of my peers as they participated in something they truly love. Both celebration and enthusiasm are two of the most important aspects of success. Being a serious athlete myself, I have found that contributing positive energy is one of the most self and overall rewarding parts. I strived to capture moments where athletes are in their true elements - times of pure, authentic excitement and positivity. My favorite image would have to be the first one, because I like how each subject is celebrating in a different way. In sports, athletes contribute not only as an individual but also as a part of a team, and I wanted to show that enthusiasm and support is important in every way, shape and form.
