Everything An NFL Photographer Does On Game Day | LA Chargers

Not a Chargers fan but a photographer --- love the fact that you guys showed love to the creatives that keep your team marketing running smooth.

The photographer is every bit a professional as the players! Thanks for the video.

This video means a lot to me not only because I’m an inspiring sports photographer, but I was also one of the soldiers holding the colors for the national anthem at this game and I got to give a jersey to one of the fallen soldiers families!

When talent, creativity and passion all meet its a beautiful result

This is fascinating to me as a hobbyist photographer. It looks fun but definitely a ton of preparation and work.

It's cool to see this perspective of being on the field.

HUUUGE quality content! How wonderful it is to see a team organization give the deserved attention and recognition to its photographer! Thanks chargers for that!

He talks so laid-back that if I close my eyes, I’d think it was Joey Bosa talking

I cannot say how much I love this so much. Thank you for doing a feature like this. As someone who just started shooting high school sports for fun, this is a dream job. I love seeing the details that go into the day for Mike, including how early he gets there to get the day started. The equipment you all have is insane! I love that you all get to mount cameras to shoot different angles of the tunnel entrances. I love the little tidbit about making sure your camera settings are ready for you when you switch cameras. While I only shoot with one camera, it's so true that you can accidentally knock them off of the proper setting. Thank you so much for this!!!

13:25 Boom, right there, stayed with the player and got a great reaction shot while the photographer to his left missed it. Fantastic intuition.

This should be a mode in madden

THE FEATURE WE ALL NEEDED

Crazy I've been seeing this guys photos my whole life, kudos! I remember seeing the name as a kid, it's awesome to get perspective as an adult on what goes into capturing all those moments!!

Excited that Mike gets his own video. Just based on the title, I knew it was about Mike. I enjoy looking at all his photos on Chargers website and social media platforms over the years.

our teams work so hard behind the scenes... from the photographers to the video content team... this was such a dope idea to put this together

I can't imagine the stress level before, during, and after the game. It's really cool to see all the things that make up a football game. You never think about all the stuff that a photographer goes through to get set for a game. Really great stuff, Mike. Awesome job and fantastic pictures.

As a video and photo professional who used to work for the Eagles' in-house broadcast team, this was an incredible watch. I'll definitely be showing it to my high school students to help them get a better understanding of what truly goes into doing this at the highest level. Would love to see more of this sort of stuff. Would love a sequel focusing on the team videographers!

As a photographer and social media director, this is fantastic. Would love to see one from the POV of the social media team on gameday :)

i would die for mike nowak

As a professional photographer who works in music, this video is absolutely amazing. This guy is so chill and so professional. It truly shows the importance of documenting history. Photos will be the only thing left in for generations of people.
