Leander Gomez, a 20-year-old self-taught photographer from the Bronx, will showcase his work at Madison Square Garden as part of the Through Their Lens program, celebrating Black History Month. His passion for basketball and unique perspective on sports photography have led him to capture intense moments beyond traditional shots. Recommended by a friend from the Dyckman street basketball tournaments, Gomez emphasizes his understanding of the game enables him to create more engaging, emotional photographs. His upcoming performance during the Knicks vs. Hawks game on February 12 represents a significant milestone in his career.
I wanted to switch it up a little bit and show people how I was viewing things.
A lot of what he saw elsewhere in sports photography seemed very similar.
His approach to shooting basketball is just finding a perspective that not everyone is able to see.
Capturing the emotion in the game often involves looking beyond the person with the ball.
