Setting: Week 15 at Cleveland<\/p>\n
The Subject: Defensive end George Karlaftis adjusts his helmet on a rainy day in Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Camera Model: Canon EOS R1<\/p>\n
Q: What was going on here, and why did you pick this photo to kick off our collection?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “What I like about this picture is the way the grass is embedded in his helmet, so you can tell that he recently made a diving tackle low to the ground. His glove and his tape are grass-stained, as well,” Sanders said. “He also has a certain look in his eye. It was cold and rainy that day, and you can tell that he’s feeling the emotion of the day. That’s one of the things I really liked about this portrait.”<\/p>\n
Q: Walk me through how you captured this?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “This play happened inside the numbers, so as he came up onto a knee, I was also on a knee when I shot this picture, which provided the perfect angle to capture this,” Sanders said. “He framed up at the perfect distance to compose this shot.”<\/p>\n
Q: Can you speak to how the various colors in this photo really contrast well together?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “The tones work really well together,” Sanders said. “You can see right into his eye, and the grass stains really contrast well with the red of his helmet. It all just really worked.”<\/p>\n
Q: What story does this photo tell?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “I think it shows how hard he worked that day,” Sanders said. “Anytime you’re covered in grass stains \u2013 especially when there’s grass in your helmet \u2013 it means you’ve been after it a little bit.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Setting: Week 15 at Cleveland The Subject: Defensive end George Karlaftis adjusts his helmet on a rainy day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[501,346,7,497,118,110,2438,2437,6,498,499,505,503,502,504,500],"class_list":{"0":"post-163452","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-chiefs","8":"tag-andy-reid","9":"tag-chiefs","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-geha-field-at-arrowhead-stadium","12":"tag-kansas-city","13":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","14":"tag-kansascity","15":"tag-kansascitychiefs","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-nfl-football","18":"tag-patrick-mahomes","19":"tag-super-bowl","20":"tag-super-bowl-iv","21":"tag-super-bowl-liv","22":"tag-super-bowl-lvii","23":"tag-travis-kelce"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114757207598811259","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
