Sports photographers must always be looking to go beyond the obvious. While almost anyone has the ability to snap a shot of bodies in motion, the truly talented creatives in the sports photography realm have an intuitive feel for the deeper emotions and storylines bubbling beneath the surface of competition. Such is especially true in the nation\u2019s capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Washington, D.C., where competition and high-stakes drama are baked into the very fabric of society, sports have long played a levelling role, often bridging racial, political, and cultural barriers \u2014 not to mention just giving locals a chance to let their hair down and relax. Whether it\u2019s capturing the energy of the numerous pro franchises, tapping into the vibrant amateur leagues, or revealing athletes at play in the surprisingly wild outdoor scene surrounding the city, the creatives on our list of the best Washington, D.C., sports photographers are all pros at what they do.

It wouldn\u2019t be accurate to describe Jared Soares\u2019s photographs as melancholy. Quite the opposite, in fact. Whether it\u2019s a lifestyle-inspired shot of a surfer emerging from the water,\u00a0soccer players juggling, or a closeup portrait of a pro baseball player staring directly into the lens, you can be sure there\u2019s warmth and vibrancy to Jared\u2019s images. Still, that warmth that the viewer senses is always happening in subtle ways, floating there within the muted color schemes and beautifully linear balancing that have become part of his aesthetic mark. In addition to freelancing for editorial clients like The New York Times<\/em> and Vice, he\u2019s become a go-to creative for top-tier commercial clients like Adidas, Nike, and Powerbar.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Stephen Gosling\u2019s stellar collection of Washington Wizards action shots should put him high on any list of the best Washington, D.C., sports photographers. Though he also shoots weddings, as well as frequently takes jobs for corporate and commercial clients, a close perusal of his NBA portfolio makes one suspect the hardcourt may just be where his creative spirit feels most at home. Always crisp, vibrant, and full of bright colors, his live-action game shots tend to summon the awe and joy you once felt as a child as you tacked up posters of your favorite hoops heroes.
