Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 29 Journalists Share Posted April 29 Bee Buck, a freelance photographer for Churchill Downs who has shot six Kentucky Derbies and two Breeders' Cups, is the guest on this week's Boundless podcast, hosted by jockey and veterinarian Ferrin Peterson. Buck describes how she was a horse-crazy kid who got her start photographing polo matches. A former art history student, she said that the study of classic proportions has helped her to frame her photos and understand what she wants to shoot. “I crave constructive criticism,” she said. “If I don't have constructive criticism that's coming to me, I'm like, `What am I doing wrong?' I strive for that `I want to get better' and `I want to be the best I can be, so what can I do to improve?'” Buck describes her photography style as a “gritty-sport-artistic.” “I really love shooting the details on racing and anything to do with racing,” she said. “I love shooting the baths, and really focusing on the water and how it splashes on the horses and the movement that creates–getting that dirt flying, and getting the little details you won't see unless you look closely at it.” The Boundless podcast aims to portray stories of resilience, risk-taking, and perseverance. The current episode is available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
