With the help of innovation and technological progress, sports photography has significantly enriched the history of photojournalism, which has enabled the recording and memories of the greatest sporting events. The theoretical part of the thesis shows the people responsible for the development of photography as well as the first examples of cameras. A chronological overview of the technological improvement of the camera also describes the impact of digital photography in creating a rich history of photojournalism. In the continuation of the masters work, the complexity of today's equipment is presented, which, despite all the technological achievements, does not guarantee top photography. Each photographer should get acquainted in detail with the characteristics of their equipment, and the next chapter, the camera body and lenses, describe the key aspects of choosing and using the device itself. The dynamism of sports photography also requires specific techniques to evoke a sense of atmosphere, speed, movement and aesthetics. The thesis describes techniques such as panning, stopping movement and sequence, which allow the photographer to achieve the final goal, ie telling a story through photographs. Through a practical example of sports photography, the seminar paper additionally described the characteristics and mutual influence of locations, athletes and equipment. The selection and processing of photographs created a collection of authorial photographs which was later used for editorial and commercial purposes.
