Hawkeyes football games are some of the most intense experiences I’ve ever had as a photographer. Kinnick Stadium is electric, and between trying to catch all the important plays and meet tight deadlines, the time can fly by. It’s important to me as a photographer to take a breath in these moments, look around and try to find the subtle moments we might miss. In this case it’s the silhouette of a cheerleader over the Hawkeyes logo.
