Jim Dietz Technical Photograph of the Year

 
 

Sarah Stier

Lights, underwater camera and action. Sarah Stier’s award-winning image for the Jim Dietz Technical Picture award embodies a perfect fusion of lights, underwater camera techniques, and dynamic action. This image stands out as it captures the essence of the moment with unparalleled clarity and creativity. Positioned at the bottom of the pool the image perfectly frames the two US swimmers as they enter the water, creating a visual narrative that transports viewers into the heart of the action. The image stands as a testament to Jim Dietz for whom this award is named. He was our beloved friend and co-worker who was always pushing the limits with technology, authority and creativity. This stand out remote image is a testament to his core beliefs.
