As the Official Photographer, I'm not only required to cover the action...but also the fans, activities around campus, images for sponsors, behind the scenes appearances by players, and VIP events all week...resulting in somewhere around 20,000 images! It's a HUGE task. But I enjoy the opportunity to test myself, stretch my versatility, and come up with creative images under pressure.
I have to say this year has been one of my favorites as I like to think I found a rising star. When I photographed a portrait of Sabine after her second round match, I felt like this could be her year to break through. After her defeat of Venus, I knew she had the game. And by the time she beat Marion, I realized she had the maturity to go all the way. Here's my portrait of the NEW Family Circle Cup Champion. Take a good look at that smile...I believe you'll be seeing a LOT more of it as Sabine continues her rise to the top!
For more photos, visit the galleries at the Family Circle Cup and the Sony Ericson WTA Tour website. I'm thrilled to say my images made the front page of the WTA Tour every day this week...a first for me!
