Sports photography- Getty Images

   I have been looking at how and why sports photography is shot. Getty Images is a stock photo agency, that supplies a range of images to newspapers, websites, advertisers etc. They have a whole section dedicated to sports photography-http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/editorialimages/sport, most of these images are for editorial purposes therefore are there simply to capture the event. They can help to illustrate reviews and news stories about an event better than just words.
