Capturing the "Five Rings of Moscow" cycling race was an exhilarating experience, blending the art of sports photography with the demands of dynamic reportage. This prestigious five-day professional event weaves through Moscow’s iconic landscapes, combining the energy of the competition with the beauty of the capital.
As a sports photographer, I approached the project with precision and preparation. I studied each route meticulously, identifying key vantage points to showcase the speed, tension, and emotions of the racers. My goal was to highlight the athleticism of the cyclists while integrating the urban charm of Moscow into each frame.
The shoot required agility, constant relocation, and rapid adaptation to the unfolding action. Balancing technical demands with creativity, I captured the essence of the event — from the competitors' fierce focus to the spectators' excitement and the vibrant atmosphere of the race.
