Triathlon in Colour: A Story of Light and Human Connection
Sports Lifestyle Photographer, Bermuda Triathlon
There's a particular kind of honesty in triathlon that you don't get from most sports: the exhaustion is visible, and so is the support around it. This community group trains together on Bermuda's coastline, swim to bike to run, and what struck me wasn't the competition so much as the care, teammates fixing each other's bikes at transition, checking in mid-swim, resting together afterwards with a towel over the handlebars.
Bermuda's light does something specific to this kind of shoot: it turns the open water swim into silhouette and glare, and softens the transition area into something almost domestic, gravel, bikes, sunscreen, quiet nerves before the start. Photographing a triathlon means working across three completely different environments in one morning, and here that meant chasing the same soft, reflective quality of light through all three.
It's part of the same look at community sport that took me to the pool with Bermuda's Sharks Swim Club: different discipline, same spirit of people training and showing up for each other.
