Earlier this year, Rowing News Magazine contacted me to do a photo essay on our US Women’s Team, and gave me full creative freedom. It’s a photographer’s dream situation and I decided to run with the opportunity.
I’ve always found photographs of women’s rowing quite disappointing, because they rarely do justice to how beautiful and amazing women rowers are. Like I mentioned in the Rowing News photo essay, we rarely get to see our national team athletes as real people, and more importantly, we rarely allow our women’s team to be seen as real women.
This week is dedicated to our women’s team and to the many amazing women that row at all levels. For the next couple days you’ll get to see images from the Rowing News photo shoot, some of the out-takes that didn’t make the final cut, and some behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot. I hope you enjoy!
