Every event tells a story
Polo is emotion, precision, and elegance – and it is the moments between the goals that define the character of a tournament. For many years, Der Rote Drache Fotografie has followed international polo events in Europe and beyond. The photo reports are published in renowned media and provide authentic content for organizers, sponsors, and partners for use in press, marketing, and communication. Images that do not just show what is happening, but make it palpable how it feels to be there.
The sport from personal experience
As an active polo player, Kathrin Gralla knows the sport from personal experience. She understands its rhythm, recognizes the decisive moment – and captures it. Professionally. Discreetly. Authentically. This insider knowledge makes the difference: those who know when the game is about to turn are already there with the camera where it all happens.
