“Chip Shot” by Annie Smith

INSPIRATION This was actually my very first time photographing golf, so I went in knowing nothing except the fact that I wanted to capture a unique shot. I started noticing how the sand would spray into the air when players chipped out of the bunker, and that moment really inspired me. I moved to the opposite side of the green to compose my photo and waited for another golfer to land in the sand trap.
