The photo reports appear in renowned media and provide organizers, sponsors, and partners with authentic content for press, marketing, and communication. Images that do not just show what is happening, but make you feel the intensity of being there.
The sport from personal experience
As an active polo player, Kathrin Gralla knows this sport from personal experience. She understands its rhythm, identifies the decisive moment – and captures it. Professionally. Discreetly. Authentically. This intimate knowledge makes all the difference: those who know when the match is about to turn are already there with the camera, right where it is all going to happen.
