This past weekend I had the incredible privilege of being able to shoot at the Inaugural Washington Justice Homestand - 02/22-23/2020!
Walking into The Anthem and seeing the hundreds of seats, waiting for eager spectators to fill was nothing short of magical. At the back of house, the stage had been reconfigured to have two long tables with PC setups for the players to use along with a massive LED screen in the center.
With so much or North American esports being centered around Los Angeles, it was incredible to be able to see what was once a distant dream come to fruition in our very own hometown of Washington DC.
Even though I’ve been primarily working as a wedding photographer, I must admit that competition has always been a bit more attractive to me than love. Not that I don’t find incredible joy in being able to share momentous occasions with my clients; I do. I just love the dichotomy of finding my footing in spaces that contain passion of two very different flavors.
What is Overwatch?
If you aren’t familiar with Overwatch, my good friend Josh from The Game Gym wrote a pretty good little summary:
Overwatch is an objective-based first person shooting game created by video game developer, Blizzard. The goal of Overwatch is to capture a point (king of the hill) or move a payload from point A to point B. Whether it is moving the payload or capturing the point, the goal is to get the enemy team out of the way. You will see a lot of bright lights and other movements, don't worry about the small stuff. Its all about kicking the enemy team out from where you want to be. If you can take 5 minutes, this What Is Overwatch will help explain things a little more.
