Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell (14) during a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA. This is peak action, but elevated. As Gainwell ran, he leapt in the air while stiff-arming Geno Stone.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (90) runs out of the tunnel prior to to a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Steelers defeated the Ravens 26-24. Player intros without stadium lights can present challenges to make sure everything is in focus and lit properly. For this moment, Watt turned around to face the fans and the spotlight flashed across him for just a split second - lighting him perfectly.

The Browns beat the Steelers 13-6. As the game progressed, I really wanted to focus on conveying what it feels like to play in the rain and capturing the explosive splashes of water that happen when players collide. I got extra lucky with Frazier and Peat looking my way. (Taylor Ollason / Pittsburgh Steelers) Model: Nikon D6 Lens (mm): 380 ISO: 1000 Aperture: 4 Shutter: 1/2500

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Brandin Echols (26) celebrates during a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA. James Pierre had scored a touchdown on the other side of the end zone and I originally thought I had missed all the action. But I kept shooting as everyone ran to the sideline, resulting in Echols celebrating right in front of me.(Taylor Ollason / Pittsburgh Steelers) Model: Nikon D6 Lens(mm): 360 ISO: 3200 Aperture:4 Shutter: 1/2500

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (30) runs out of the tunnel prior to a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Packers beat the Steelers 35-25. Being positioned at the tunnel entrance for intros is elite for many reasons. The light streaming in behind the players makes them feel larger than life and the moment even more grand.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin prior to a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Miami Dolphins, Monday, Dec. 15, 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Steelers defeated the Dolphins 28-15. Coach would often stand off to the side, watching the linebackers go through their pregame warmups. The drills were standard, but I wanted to capture the motion of the players running in the foreground while keeping Coach in focus. The key was making sure I stood still enough to keep Coach sharp, while still allowing for that nice motion blur.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Jack Sawyer (33) celebrate during a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Steelers defeated the Ravens 26-24. Even if I'm in a position of capturing the game winning touchdown, I love to look for the quarterback to see what celebration comes from the play. Rodgers had connected with Calvin Austin for the touchdown, then sprinted to the sideline to celebrate with his teammates.
