Get an inside look at what it takes to cover an MLS soccer match at the Seattle Sounders, featuring Sony's flagship a9 III global shutter full frame mirrorless camera, and the PDT-FP1, an all-new portable data transmitter for creators. I recently shot my first professional MLS soccer match at the Seattle Sounders, using Sony’s flagship global shutter-equipped and their powerful portable data transmitter for broadcasters and photojournalists, the . I was super excited to capture the 50th Anniversary Sounders game, especially since it was a very special occasion and the realization of a longstanding goal that I’ve had since the start of my career as a photographer.
As a former player and fan of the game, it's been a lifelong goal of mine to become a professional sports photographer, and I'm super grateful that I finally had the opportunity to realize my dream of documenting a pro MLS soccer game. It wouldn’t have been possible without the gracious support of our team here at Fstoppers (Alex), the office of The Mayor of Seattle (Pedro), (Lori) and the team at Glazer's Camera Rentals, and the gracious communications team at the Seattle Sounders (Kelly). Thank you all for giving me an opportunity to showcase my love for the game of soccer.
Needless to say, I had an incredible experience at the game, fell even more in love with capturing pro sports, and have since attained representation in the press to become a fully credentialed pro sports photojournalist. Be on the lookout.
