However, there are incredibly talented female team photographers in professional sports. Besides these team photographers, there are countless talented women who freelance, work for publications, and photograph for other sports outlets. There are so many of them, it would be very difficult to track them all down and make a complete list of all female sports photographers, but, I will try and include as many as possible.
