'One Shot' Photographing the Olympic Games

'‘One Shot’ Photographing the Olympic Games' offers a unique behind the scenes look at photographing the Olympic Games, from the photographers themselves, but also from the operational perspective of the organising committee and the host city.

‘One Shot’ is built around the 100m men’s final in Rio de Janeiro and features Lucy Nicholson (Reuters), Bob Martin (Sports Illustrated/SilverHub), Tsuyoshi Matsumoto (Yomiuri Shimbun), Tim De Waele (Freelance), Denis Paquin (Associated Press) and Ken Mainardis (Getty Images). This short version of what will be a 25 minute feature was created for the Rio Debrief held in Tokyo in December 2016 and premiered at the PyeongChang World Press Briefing in Korea.

One day..one day I will be photographer for olympics

Amazing video. No photographer could watch that without crazily wishing to be there one day :D

When I started getting into shooting action sports in cold places like Iceland and Norway I always wanted to look for what photographers shooting the olympics did and what gear they used for inspiration, I looked all over from Youtube to blog posts etc... but this is everything and more then I could have asked for, hearing what goes behind all the incredible olympics shots, the amount of people working to get the photo out of the camera and out online in minutes is insane, such an incredible video!

This video is so inspiring. It is a dream of mine to photograph for the Olympics

[deanekoh]

Such insight and inspiration! I wish I could go to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a photographer!

Didn't know what behind the scenes of the photograph team but it sure looks nerve-racking

I feel bad ass bringing my 1D Mark IV to games at my HS, but this, this is the real deal.

16 hour days
Bad Hotels
Worst Food
Catty people to work alongside
You stink like stink never imagined it could stink
Equipment failures that take MILES to get back a loaner out or repair
4000 - 6000 images per day
(Just to name a few) and all for 6 to 10 the desk will use.
3 weeks to recuperate.

Priceless.

My spirit to take pictures during inter-school competition was as high as those Olympic photographers.

I used to take a photos of bike racing with my Nikon D3400 and AFP 70-300 4.5 lens at Mizoram, one of the smallest state in Indian North East region. I'm so inspired by this video, and the works to photographers... And their gear...

[kevinrobertson]

Great vid. As a tog who has done press ops a few times this is a great insight.

[CalebNichols]

Nah man I'm good. As a Steadicam Operator, even this is too much pressure for me.😂🤣Mad respect for these guys.

[BenDykes]

The athletes can't hide anything because there are literally 20+ cameras on each person.

[scallen]

100 lens all pointed at the same subjects, it's all about who can get it published first .

[yusufswjy]

9:43 just... mind blowing, who is the photographer?

[KevinMphotography]
