Vikes Eden Kilgour scored the winning try in the match vs UBC – photo by John Richardson Images
What I like about the photo: Sometimes having the background in focus is a plus and that’s the case in this photo where the spectators reaction makes the photo standout.
Kaden Dugui shouting instructions in the maul – photo by Lauren Marquardt, Gone West Photography
What I like about the photo: The isolated face in a familiar rugby scenario, the maul, gives it a classic look.
Cooper Coats distributing the ball – Vikes vs UBC – by Judy Teasdale
What I like about the photo: Photos of well known players always carry a premium, especially when they’re playing in unusual situations, e.g. a national team #10 playing for university team. A classic pose for a #10 distributing the ball.
Comox player takes her eye off the ball as Nanaimo defenders close in – by Lorne Collicutt
What I like about the photo: Specific teaching points in rugby are sometimes caught on camera perfectly illustrated, such as eye focus when catching a ball. The photo also makes you want to know more, did she catch the ball or drop it?
Noah Kyneston dives to slam the ball down for a try against Seattle – by BCRN
What I like about the photo: Capturing an iconic rugby moment when a player dives and prepares to slam the ball down for a try with the defender draped over him. It’s a fraction of a second to get the right shot.
Charity Williams attempts to fend defender – by Alfred Rugby
What I like about the photo: Great clarity, the facial expressions, the fingers interlocked on the attempted fend, a classic wing vs prop battle, speed vs power.
