Sports photography isn’t what it used to be.
That’s to be expected, considering the lack of sports this pandemic summer. But there are still job opportunities: This week we learned that Getty Images is partnering with the creators of the video game Gran Turismo to market in-game photography from “world-class motorsports photographers.” Getty recently announced that it is the “exclusive photo agency of Gran Turismo’s global lineup of eSport events.”
The goal, noted PetaPixel, is to “[bridge] the gap between the real and the virtual worlds,” and provide agencies, brands and the media with “content to engage the eSports audience.”
