Sol Neelman has been to Japan to capture log riding, England to shoot cheese rolling, Colorado for furry skiing, and Morocco to document sandboarding.
A photographer has spent the best part of 20 years traveling the world capturing hundreds of weird sports.
that his love for odd activities has not diminished. “I’ve photographed 200 of these weird sports. Most of them have the same aspect to it of adults wanting to be kids in costume drinking beer and having fun and laughing a lot.”Neelman says that his favorite event is Kaiju Big Battel, a parody wresetling show that takes place in Brooklyn, New York where performers dress in Godzilla and other absurd costumes — it features on the front cover of his new book.“There’s one that’s the Awful Waffle who is French and goes by the name of French Toast.
“I’ve photographed a couple of Olympics and it’s really restrictive and while it’s super-interesting, it’s nowhere near as fun as shooting weird sports,” he explains. “Traditionally sports photography emphasizes longer lenses, and distance, and clean photos and peak moments. I like peak moments but I like intimacy, it’s part of what I love about shooting weird sports is that not only is there seldom a sideline where I’m restricted to, many times it’s like you can be part of the field it’s not going to effect anything.
