Episode 4 - Tommy Dickson and the Try Seen Around the World

Sports is all about special moments, and sports photography plays a huge part in telling those stories. Tommy Dickson is an Irish sports photographer working for Inpho Sports Photography. In 2018 during a rugby Test Match between Ireland and New Zealand, Tommy found himself perched above the scoreboard at Dublin's Aviva Stadium, amid dead pigeons and bird poop. It was one of those spots where you could capture something, but oftentimes you come back down with nothing. But on a chilly November afternoon, Tommy came back down with one of the most iconic photos in Irish sporting history. You can follow Tommy on Instagram @tommyd.d
