In a meeting with the KHL photographer, you will look behind the lens, learn how stories are born in a single frame, and how they teach us to see the game differently. In big sports, everything is decided in fractions of a second, and the photographer lives in that same rhythm. While fans follow the puck or the ball, he composes the shot, capturing facial expressions and body movements that will disappear in an instant. In a meeting with photographer Maxim Shmakov, the discussion will focus on how a photographer's work is organized in the top league of sports. He will show examples of shots that usually remain outside of broadcasts, explain how to build trust with players and coaching staff, and why this affects the liveliness of the report. Participants will learn what technical tricks help deal with movement and light, how a club photographer differs from a guest photographer, and how a season is shot from inside the team. It will be interesting for those who are interested in sports, photography, or media, work with visual content, or shoot for a blog.
