New York Times:
Those who saw Odell Beckham Jr.’s acrobatic catch live on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium probably could not fully appreciate it in real time. Those who saw it on video — millions, once the awe spread on social media — were dazzled by his seemingly impossible body control. And those who saw still photographs of the catch might have wondered, how did the photographer capture that?
Jeffrey Furticella, a picture editor on the Sports desk at The New York Times, reached out to some of the photographers who shot the catch on Sunday night.
As a photographer, I always love to read the stories behind the images.
There’s almost a puzzle contained within the article, as you can see other photographers in most of the shots, and try to figure out their identity based on the angles and their position.
That was great Shawn, thanks for the share!
I’m going to beg to differ with Kathy Willens and her claim that her colleague Julio Cortez got the defining shot. Julio had a great snap to be sure, but for my money, Al Bello’s was the finest shot of the bunch, best capturing the absurd difficulty of the grab.
