Behind the Lens at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics: A Getty Photographer's Guide to Capturing Skiing Magic - SnowBrains
"Ramos is a Barcelona-based staff photographer for Getty Images, with a career spanning news, international conflicts, and high-profile sports coverage-including the Winter Olympics. Ramos received an Award of Excellence in the Sports Photographer of the Year category for his full portfolio of sports coverage from 2023, including the World Athletic Championships, Tour de France, Alpine Ski World Cup Finals, surfing sessions in Portugal, and more."
"Being a photographer at the Olympic Games with Getty is far beyond just "taking pictures." It takes professional teamwork, elite precision, endurance and strength to battle extremely cold conditions, and the ability to work at ultra-fast speeds. The Olympic Games are a global event that requires tens of thousands of workers, volunteers, and staff to host 2,900 of the world's best winter athletes."
"To capture the essence of the Winter Olympics, Getty Images deploys its own team of 84 photographers and 39 editors that will shoot and edit more than six million images from the Opening Ceremony on February 6 to the Closing Ceremony on February 22. Milan is expected to be one of the largest photo offices ever for Getty Images, including past Olympic Games. It takes a ton of teamwork to make all of that happen, and Ramos understands that."
