In the high-speed world of sports, collaboration is what keeps the ball rolling – quite literally. Sports creatives work fast to make the most of gametime photos, ensuring they capitalize on the power of the biggest moments as they happen in real-time. In a world where second screens have become the norm, audiences engage with sports leagues, teams, and fans on multiple platforms using multiple devices. They’re following the action live on the big screen and sharing commentary and reacting virtually via their social media feeds, so for creative live sports storytellers, it’s all about sharing the action on the field to the fans as quickly as possible.
But how can sports creatives document and share their biggest moments when attendance is limited (or restricted,) and their creative team is stretched thin? Find out in our upcoming summit session on June 24 with Terrell Lloyd of the San Francisco 49ers and Rankin White of Austin FC. These sports creatives will take us behind the scenes at their organizations to learn how they collaborate with various stakeholders and deliver eye-catching content across multiple channels. You’ll also hear all about their unique experiences on the field as professional sports photographers and learn what it was like to be on the sidelines during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Read on to learn more about these collaborators joining us on June 24 and save your spot today for 20/21 Vision: The Collaboration Summit.

Award-winning photographer Terrell Lloyd joined the San Francisco 49ers as a contract photographer in 1996, and today he’s the team’s Director of Photography Services and a resource for NFL photographers to learn from. As a 49ers fan growing up in San Francisco, a young Terrell Lloyd used to make photo books out of gameday images he cut out of the newspapers.
