## Caption

Proud to introduce our first #TeamPhotographerTuesday where we will highlight the work of one of many talented @mlb team photographers. Our first is @dirksenphoto of the @rockies! #MLB #Rockies #SportsPhotography ———————————————————————— “My goal as the team photographer for the @rockies is to tell the story from as close to the character's point of view as possible. I view myself as a documentary photographer more so than being a "sports" photographer. I'm looking for things that directly link from the storyline of the game or season to how they got to where they are, how they are perceived, the individual's personality and the culture of the club. I want my lens to be the vehicle that brings fans within the inner circle and allows them that deeper access. In addition to capturing that narrative and inside access, I'm also looking to showcase the beauty of Coors Field. I'm happy to go on record and say we have the best light in the game. Colorado is notorious for its jaw-dropping sunsets as well as the unparalleled light that streaks through the late summer nights onto the field, truly creating a haven of artistic opportunity that often blends the line between fine art and sports photography.” - @dirksenphoto
