Photographing wrestling causes me to turn and twist my body more than any other sport. And I am not even the one exerting the most effort. I love getting down on the floor and getting mat level images. The contortions happen because they do not stay in the center of the mat and then you also have to get around the ref. You know you have the perfect angle when all the sudden the ref appears in your view. Which then means I am trying to move myself quickly to a new angle but without getting in the way of anyone watching the match. But what I do is not even close to the wrestlers. I am constantly amazed by their flexibility and strength. Plus the fans are great and there are very unique instructions being shouted out. Below are a few of my favorites from the night. All images are available through the Game Proofs link above.
Little nose adjustment.
