Underwater What

Several Rugby players dive towards a ball underwater in a pool

See more of Bedoya's work — and learn why she finds it more nerve-wracking to photograph underwater rugby than to actually play it.

An art and art history major concentrating on photography and video, Daniela Bedoya ’24 (SFA) spent the summer of ’23 photographing underwater rugby games (as if rugby wasn’t rough enough?) and interviewing professional female sports photographers, thanks to funding from UConn’s BOLD Women’s Leadership Network. “Women in Sports: Behind the Lens” was born from her love for photography and lifetime as an athlete, she says, and started with her interviewing nine female photographers who either serve as team photographers in national leagues or otherwise focus their work in athletics.
