(NADS) - Photographer Jérôme Brouillet captured the moment Gabriel Medina shined at the 2024 Paris Olympics, thanks to careful preparation, professional equipment and quick reflexes.
To capture Gabriel Medina's moment of brilliance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, AFP photographer Jérôme Brouillet may have followed these steps:
Be prepared: Jérôme Brouillet made sure to research Gabriel Medina and the sport he was taking part in. Being well-informed about the athletes, the techniques and the highlights of the sport will help the photographer anticipate key moments.
Use professional equipment : A professional photographer like Brouillet will use high-end equipment, including cameras with fast shutter speeds and telephoto lenses to capture small details and fast action. This is very important in sports photography.
Good Location and Angle: To get beautiful and unique photos, photographers need to choose the right location to shoot. This may include asking permission to enter areas specifically reserved for photographers or choosing an angle that can capture the whole scene.
Skills and quick reflexes : In sporting events, great moments can happen in a flash. Photographers need quick reflexes and the ability to adjust their equipment on the fly so as not to miss these moments.
Be patient and watch closely : The golden moments don't always come. Brouillet could have waited patiently and been ready to catch Gabriel Medina's moment of brilliance, such as when he performed a difficult move or expressed strong emotion.
Post-production editing: After taking a photo, editing the photo to optimize the light, color and details is also very important. This helps to add more highlights to the photo and convey the spirit of the moment.
Combining the above elements, Jérôme Brouillet succeeded in capturing impressive photos of Gabriel Medina at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Gabriel Medina shines at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Although he has not yet reached the final round, top surfing star Gabriel Medina has left an indelible mark at the 2024 Paris Olympics. On July 30, in the third round of the men's surfing event on the island of Tahiti (France), Medina - a 30-year-old man from Sao Sebastiao, Brazil - created top waves, achieving a record score of 9.9 out of 10!
Tahiti is not only the most remote Olympic venue, but also known for its harsh conditions, which test top athletes. One of the most striking moments captured was Medina celebrating after his record-breaking performance, captured by AFP photographer Jérôme Brouillet. In the photo, Medina appears to be suspended in mid-air, perfectly in sync with his surfboard.
Within hours of posting, the photo exploded on social media. Brouillet said he took the photo while on a nearby boat in perfect conditions, with higher-than-expected waves. "It's not difficult to take a photo like this, the key is to predict when and where Gabriel will appear," he shared.
