I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the SBD Cup, one of the largest weightlifting competitions in the Netherlands, which also marked my first official weightlifting event as a photographer. Capturing both still images and slow-motion videos, I dedicated a lot of research to perfecting high-quality ultra slow-motion footage. Weightlifting happens in the blink of an eye, and I wanted to ensure that every detail of the athletes' performance was beautifully captured.
