Dominique Powers usually focusses on road racing, but while in Spain shooting a team camp, the Cyclocross World Cup in Benidorm was impossible to resist.<\/p>\n

Getting the Shot is a series that shines a light on the photographer and the moment behind your favourite cycling images. We’ve gone behind the scenes at the Tour de France Femmes<\/a>, the Paris Olympic Games<\/a>, and now we join Dominique Powers<\/a> at the UCI World Cup round in Benidorm, Spain.<\/p>\n

Photographing women’s cycling, women’s sports in general, is not new to Dominique Powers. She’s shot the Red Bull Rampage<\/a>, the Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC<\/a> NWSL game, and of course, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift<\/a>. Many different sports with their own individual atmospheres. On Sunday, while in Spain for Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto’s team camp, Powers popped over to the Benidorm Cyclocross World Cup to snap some pictures of the race and found herself immersed in a totally different setting than what she is used to on the road. <\/p>\n

“There is something that’s different, elevated, about shooting races over [in Europe],” Powers told Escape Collective. “Cyclocross, especially, is such a community event. Walking through the course, you see kids up to grandparents who are all just as engaged and excited about the racing.<\/p>\n

“That’s something that is really special. It’s not just folks who are cyclists, or who have family who are cyclists. They love the sport, they love the spectacle.”<\/p>\n
