The moment you train for.

Finja Nitschke photographs sport the way it feels: fast, honest, full of energy. For athletes from 12 up – and for everyone cheering from the sideline.

About Finja

I don’t photograph the game. I photograph you in it.

The block that decides everything. The look to your partner after match point. The jump that lasts a tenth of a second longer than expected. These are the moments I look for – with a feel for the game and respect for the people who play it.

Focus

Beach volleyball. Sand, sun, 1/2000 of a second.

Beach volleyball is my home behind the camera. Two against two, every action counts, every emotion shows. From youth championships to top tournaments: I capture what happens in the sand.

Up close
Long lenses, fast shutter speeds – razor sharp, even on a jump serve.
With a feel for the game
Knowing the sport means knowing where the next big moment happens.
With respect
