What about Jordan Crooks celebration for his 50 free
I love the raw emotion captured in the photo of Josh Liendo, Adam Chaney, and Julian Smith; you can feel the crackle of energy and excitement they experienced in that moment, although the image itself is static–that’s an impressive photographic accomplishment.
The Miroslaw, Johnston and Fl guys ones are cold

Both of korstanje’s go so hard

Self promotion and no aussies….transparently obvious. Some nice pics but overrated
…just seeing the comments here. Jack’s travel budget was a limited in 2023.

For a big event, we/swimswam will run 200-250 images (and a 1000+ if you count editorial use over the following 12 months). None of that matters to governing boides. For the record, Jack will be at the Olympic Games, and he will clearly being capturing all of the Australia… Read more »
