How do Photographers Maintain History and Successes?!

precious memories often come back to our minds. in the past, they were being told in gatherings or imagined alone. some times it's hard to repeat those memories and in other cases, it's even more challenging to repeat those precise moments. the innovation of the camera has changed it all. precious moments are being captured in a video or a photo today so people can see them and go through those events again. in the sports industry saving moments is a major part of each sport to save its history and to verify the trophies of each team. in football photos and videos are used for infinite purposes. however, the users can be divided into three categories. organizations, individuals, and audiences.

individuals consist of anyone working within the borders of the sport (in our article here football) they could be physiotherapists, managers, or most commonly the players. players are the most users of photos and videos. they do that to increase their popularity and get more attention. those players will not be able to do that with low-quality images. Cristiano Ronaldo became the world's most famous person on Instagram with almost 500 million followers. he wouldn't be able to do that without the effort of the photographers who took images of him in an exceptional moment.

another example of how photographers contributed to players' successes is Diego Maradona's goal vs England in 1986. many people argue that it was the best goal in football history and some statistics indicate that this is the most popular goal ever. technically the effort to score that goal wasn't the highest, there are other players that scored goals with higher effort and dribbled from farther distances. At that time social media even didn't exist to help that goal go viral. a large part that contributed to the success of this goal is how that goal was presented and at which moment was these images taken.

organizations could be teams, magazines, podcast channels, and much more. the ordinary goal of these organizations is to generate profit.in terms of teams, publishing those moments such as the trophies that they have won is the main channel to market the team name. magazines use those moments to write articles, produce a documentary, or create a new award. for example, France Football is a well-known magazine that presents the most popular award named Ballon d'Or ("Golden Ball") given to the best player in Europe.

the massive marketing of this award made it even more famous than the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) best player award. they wouldn't be able to achieve that if they didn't percent these awards for exceptional images and films. in short, those organizations use these memories to promote their names and success.

most of us are categorized as the audience for the moment (some of us may be a professional in the future) we also use photos to preserve these exceptional moments and remember them. but when it comes to football it's not that easy to do so due to the lack of skills or deficit of equipment. here comes our job for you to get the best photo highlights of your match. in JAF photography we have skilled photographers to snap your incredible moments of the game and edit them for you to post the best and only the best pictures and videos.
