GLOBAL Sport Photographer of the Year

 
 

Ezra Shaw

Each image from Ezra Shaw’s portfolios tells a powerful story, from the sheer intensity of competition to the breathtaking beauty of nature. These shots masterfully capture motion, determination, and the raw energy of sports, whether it’s the fierce battle on the basketball court, the grace of a gymnast in mid-air, or the endurance of athletes pushing their limits.
Beyond the action, the compositions are stunning, an aerial view of swimmers cutting through the ocean, a lone cyclist against a tropical backdrop, and a surfer riding waves beneath a perfect rainbow. The interplay of light, shadow, and movement in these images is nothing short of spectacular.
These photographs are not just moments frozen in time, they are emotions brought to life, inspiring awe and admiration. This well-deserved recognition is a testament to the skill, patience, and artistic vision behind the lens.
