Sport experienced firsthand
As an active polo player, Kathrin Gralla knows the sport from direct experience. She understands its rhythm, recognizes the decisive moment, and captures it. Professionally. Discreetly. Authentically. This inside knowledge makes the difference: those who know when the game is about to change direction are already there with the camera where everything is about to happen.
