APA Open Nationals 2024
This was the craziest event I have ever witnessed, let alone taken photos at, and as the main photographer!?! 🤯 have set the standard for National level powerlifting events in every aspect. The lighting, the livestream, the coordinators and the volunteers have taken efforts to new levels and pulled it all together without a hitch. The spotters and loaders all weekend long were akin to an F1 Pit crew. The athletes themselves were world class, with some of them literally bettering world records.
As for myself, I am so grateful I had this opportunity to provide images for this event, a huge milestone for me, considering I only start photographing people less than a year ago. I had to adapt and learn very quickly to the conditions that I’ve never combatted before but I am confident that this album is the best album I’ll ever produce.
Shout out to for sharing the media spaces with me and tolerating me stealing the drippy angles when I needed them 🤣 contact Anton for your video packages - that team hustled and did not miss a moment.
Additional shout out to for creating the 50mm 1.4 that saved my ass this weekend 🙏
