Some of the seminal, iconic photographs in the world’s history have been at sporting events. Whether they be of Mohamed Ali, then Cassius Clay, strutting his stuff in the ring, or the “black” salute at the Olympic Games medal ceremony, without on site photographers these moments would be lost to history. The amount of these moments, not just the elite, not just the iconic, but the sporting moments captured every single day can be demonstrated by the amount of cameras present at sporting events. I am sat watching Manchester United vs Arsenal and the sheer volume of people is staggering.

Not just the professionals either; everyone has a camera now. On their phones or standard smaller hand cameras. Every possible angle is covered, and all for the better. Those smaller moments now are never too far away; a simple glance between two sportsman, a nod of acknowledgment, a clasp of the hand away from the television cameras.
