At the Ice

The 2026 Winter Olympics through the lens.

“Speed skating is about the rhythm of the blade — that perfect moment when everything aligns and a skater finds their fastest self.”

Long Track

Team USA on the long oval

The Oval Olimpico in Milano held its breath for every race. Positioned at the final corner, Evan caught the moment Team USA committed everything to their last lap — blades biting, bodies low, the crowd a wall of sound.

Shooting at 1/2500s at f/5.6, ISO 3200 — the Canon R5 Mark II's eye-tracking locked onto the lead skater through the turn and never let go.

Pairs Figure Skating

The moment of the throw

The pairs throw is the most compressed drama in all of figure skating — a split second of trust between two athletes that determines everything. One launches, one flies.

Shot in portrait orientation from the far end of the rink, the frame holds both the height of the jump and the expression of absolute concentration.

Team Pursuit

Three skaters, one shadow

Team pursuit demands perfect synchrony — three skaters drafting so tightly they look like a single organism. The lead rotates, the line never breaks, and the clock stops for no one.

Getting the formation in one frame required a longer focal — 89mm at f/4.5 compressed the distance between skaters and made the geometry obvious.
