Of the dozens of photographers from all over the world who make thousands and thousands of photos on the US open of this year, one image above all other so far is on the Tennis Grand Slam in New York.
A slight imbalance of the seventh seed Jasmine Paolini and a ruthless stable hand, photographer Ray Giubilo left a one-in-a-billion shot this week this week.
Paolini greeted it as “perhaps the image of the year”, but taken the whimsical image during the first round of the Italian player with the Destanee Aiava in Australia for an even bigger title than that.
Tennis photography is not known for his sense of humor. The images are often clean, sharp and intense, but they are rarely hilarious. A nanosecond later or earlier, a completely different frame would have shown and missed the pure comic value behind Giubilo’s image.
Half -frightening and half sublime, the image was recorded by a complete ranger. Giubilo told The Guardian that he “had been waiting for something like this for a long time”, and that he knew what a great image he had taken the moment he saw it on the back of his Nikon Z9.
The only way in which Giubilo could set the shot so perfectly was due to that Paolini was out of balance when she finished her Forehandslag. “She has just moved the racket back in a way she normally doesn’t do,” he said. When he tried to capture the same image the next night, Frame could not be replicated after frame.
Paolini was so in love with the shot that she gave Giubilo the next time she was on the field, a second round game to express her admiration.
“Tonight after the game when she won, I sat under her box and ran to the box, smiling as she always does, and I thought she would hug her coach. But she came to me instead and gave me five and said,” Great photo. “
Before he became a professional photographer, Giubilo was an agent for a tennis clothing company in Australia. His passion was always photography, and with the help of people such as John Newcombe and John Alexander he moved to photographing local competitions. Thirty -seven years later he spends the tennis circuit seven months a year and shoots up to 20 games a day over debilitating services of 14 hours.
Patience, creative flare and impeccable technical skills are some great sports photographers; Sitting for hours while watching the game after competition, while they concentrated on every hit while Laser concentrated on every hit. “You have to be patient, you have to be fast, you have to be fit,” he said.
