For me being recognized by The Guardian as one of the 50 photographers that reshaped sport is an incredible honor. To have my work acknowledged by such a reputable publication is a testament to my passion and dedication to photography.

The fact that my photography has become part of sports history is truly humbling. It's a surreal feeling to know that my images will be remembered for years to come and that they have made an impact on the way we view sports. I take pride in my ability to capture the emotion and drama of sports in my photographs.

For me, it's not just about the athletes or the game itself, but about the human stories and emotions that lie behind them. To have The Guardian recognize this in my work has been a dream come true. My recognition by The Guardian will inspire other aspiring photographers, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, to pursue their passion and know that they can make a significant impact in sports journalism.
