Setting: Week 7 at San Francisco<\/p>\n

Taken By: Mikayla Schlosser<\/p>\n
Camera Model: Cannon EOS R3<\/p>\n
Q: What was going on here, and why did you include this photo in the collection?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “This was just a great day. The weather was great, and the team was playing really well. This photograph happened right after Hicks’ first-career interception. He went running all the way down the field, and we had a photographer back there \u2013 Mikayla Schlosser \u2013 and she was in the perfect spot. We always try to keep a ‘goalie’ back there just in case something like this happens, and she was there,” Sanders said. “It’s such a great image. There’s so much emotion. The guys are jumping in the back, and it all makes a great diamond shape. You can tell how much fun they’re having.”<\/p>\n
Q: Following up on that, how much fun is it when you can really capture the emotion of a moment like this?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “It’s one of my favorite parts of photography,” Sanders said. “Especially when you’re able to show an image like this to the player afterwards. It’s a great feeling.”<\/p>\n
Q: For you and your team, what’s it like to go through your images and realize you all captured such an incredible photograph?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “I know she loved this picture. We had it printed out on metal and sat it beside her desk. She had several shots of this \u2013 something like 12 frames \u2013 and this one was just perfect. The guys are in the gaps, the light was nice, everybody is sharp, and it has a dark background. It just really told the story,” Sanders said. “We have shots of the interception, too, and I loved those images until I saw this. This is amazing.”<\/p>\n
Q: You’ve spoken about the magic of “California light” before. What makes it so unique?<\/p>\n
Sanders: “It just seems like it comes in at a different angle than anywhere else in the country,” Sanders said. “It’s warm, and it makes for nice pictures.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Setting: Week 7 at San Francisco The Subject: Safety Jaden Hicks celebrates with his teammates following his first-career…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":199403,"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-199402","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\/114835961063331924","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199402","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=199402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
