Canon Ambassador Łukasz Skwiot took this image as part of a marketing shoot for a Poland-based American football team. "I was given a free hand as to the visual form," he says. "I chose the Canon EOS 5DS because it offers a powerful photo resolution and its sharpness and detail level creates ideal commercial material."

Canon Ambassador Łukasz Skwiot specialises in photographing football and American football throughout Europe, as well as covering other sports such as handball and athletics. In addition to shooting action for editorial outlets, the Polish photographer also creates studio portraits of prominent football players for commercial clients.
"I'm fascinated by the ability to capture fractions of a second in a photo that are impossible to see with the naked eye," says Łukasz, who's been a professional photographer since 2015. "I focus on dynamic, tight frames and I always try to convey as much action and emotion as possible in my pictures."
