This week’s guest is Alex Bierens De Haan, who until very recently worked for 6 years as the Houston Astros' team photographer. An insightful conversation looks at his journey into photography all the way from Sydney, Australia to join the Astros, discussing the relative popularity of baseball Down Under before taking an in-depth look at what his daily routines were as the Astros' photographer. The discussion goes on to assess what challenges De Haan had to overcome with the role in the relentless arena of photographic and video content creation for the Astros, detailing his creative outlook in order to keep his immortalising of Astros moments fresh and engaging for audiences. De Haan contrasts the normal routine with that of the Covid-altered landscape from the 2020 season, before pinpointing his very favourite shots taken as Astros' photographer from the many thousands over the years and then outlining the specific lenses he prefers to use. What he presents here is a rare behind-the-scenes look at the team effort involved to deliver a crucial part of the baseball fan experience which is rarely given the attention and focus which it deserves.
