How to shoot in a bicycle race

Q: Please summarize your photography style. A: I usually improvise when I take pictures. I don't think there are many photographers who specialize in photographing a cyclist before and after the race like me. I usually capture their lives with the team. Most sports photographers will immediately publish photos of the game in many newspapers and magazines, forming a news effect. But the photos I took were more like telling the story of the contestants. I tried to connect myself with the photographer in a very personal way. Q: When you enter this industry, you take pictures of people. Why did you take part in the bicycle race later? A: At that time, I lived in Los Angeles, where photography was quite commercialized. Although filming is interesting, it is actually quite difficult to find a suitable job. Later, it became more and more difficult to find a suitable job, so I gave up photography and took part in triathlon. I met people in the sports field during the training, and they invited me to take photos for an Australian cycling team. Although I haven't done sports photography before, I decided to use the method of people shooting in this shooting and focus on the story behind the game. I didn't expect them to like my photos very much and invited me to continue shooting with them for another season. Q: How long have you been doing this job? A: sports photography starts on 20 10. Last year, I got an opportunity to work for the Geox-TMC team sponsored by Fuji Bicycle. I stayed in Italy for 7 months and contributed to magazines and blogs from time to time. This work experience has deepened my understanding of cycling. The influence of cycling in Italy is no less than that of NFL in the United States. Cyclists are as popular as rock stars, but it must be said that cycling competitions in Italy are longer and more difficult. But for a female photographer, it has brought many benefits, at least those senior sports photographers will not regard me as a competitor to grab news with them.
