Get unique angles from as high as possible. There was another photographer in a slightly lower position, so I set up on the opposite side of the bench. This position also allowed him to shoot against the light and make good use of long shadows as the game progressed.<\/p>\n<h2>How this photo was made<\/h2>\n<p>Shooting from the catwalk is a bit difficult, especially with a 400mm lens as you can&#8217;t use a monopod. We had to find a spot between the stadium lights on the catwalk. But it worked for me. <\/p>\n<h2>Why this photo works<\/h2>\n<p>The competition focuses a lot of attention on great goalscorers, and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 was one of the newsmakers who caught the eye with his outstanding performance. In this photo, he reacts to a missed scoring chance, but the spotlight is on him. The pose he struck is perfect, capturing his body movement and position on the field, that is, him alone in space, and the fact that the frame fits his entire shadow makes this photo work very well.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">See more of AP&#8217;s World Cup coverage here<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/word-cup-2025-94bbf937ee36fc65a8eb041eaa60f593\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
