Harry Giglio, LaMarr Woodley Let it Out

When photographer Harry Giglio met Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Lamarr Woodley for a recent photo shoot, he knew he was in for a challenge.  The session took place just two days after a game and Woodley – still sore, slow and limping – winced whenever the photographer asked him to change positions.  Shot after shot was taken with the images just not telling the story Giglio wanted them to.  Finally, Harry decided to go with the flow and put the athlete’s sour mood to good use.

“I knew he was hurting and had a million things to do,” Harry says. “So I figured it was a good time to ask, ‘Hey, LaMarr, just scream and let it out.’"

Woodley complied, loosing a beast-like roar that echoes even in the silence of Harry’s now-signature shot. "That is one of my all-time favorite shots I’ve taken" the photographer notes.
