Venkatesh Kittur, Frozen in Focus (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

Here I am presenting a candid portrait of Alexander Zverev taken during a match at the Australian Open. This image captures a rare, intimate moment during the Australian Open when Alexander Zverev, during a heated match, locked eyes with my camera between points. It felt like time slowed down, and everything aligned perfectly – the intensity of the match, the focus in his eyes, and the emotion in the air. The shot was an unexpected yet beautiful blend of timing and connection. It's a moment I’ll never be able to recreate, making it even more special.
