Steelers Team Photographer Karl Roser shares his 10 best photos from the 2022 season
The Pittsburgh Steelers walk to the field for warmups prior to a preseason game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Jacksonville Jaguars, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022 in Jacksonville, FL. The Steelers defeated the Jaguars 16-15. Throughout pregame I noticed a clean background in the players' entrance tunnel and the fans above silhouetted against the wall. I positioned myself in the right spot and waited for a moment to present itself. The photo appears to look monochromatic, but it is in fact a color photo. (Karl Roser / Pittsburgh Steelers)

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Tyson Alualu (94) leaves the locker room and makes his way to the field before a preseason game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions, Sunday, Aug. 28, 2022 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Steelers defeated the Lions 19-9. Tyson was completely focused as he walked by me and put on his game face before taking the field. I captured this by slowing down my shutter and firing my on-camera flash to rear sync which gives the image an effect of movement but also keeps it in sharp focus. (Karl Roser / Pittsburgh Steelers)

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (18) stands on the sideline during the National Anthem prior to a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sunday, Oct. 16, 2022 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Steelers defeated the Buccaneers 20-18. Using a wide angle lens I positioned myself very close to the players during the Anthem so when the flyover happened I could move in even closer and at a low angle to juxtapose the helicopters with Diontae in the foreground.

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback James Pierre (42) prior to a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets, Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Jets beat the Steelers 24-20. As players stand on the sidelines before the coin toss there are a lot of opportunities for some great portraits. I used a 200mm lens and moved myself directly into James' stare to capture this. (Karl Roser / Pittsburgh Steelers)

The Pittsburgh Steelers wait to take the field prior to a regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022 in Miami, FL. The Dolphins beat the Steelers 16-10. Sometimes you get lucky. During the introductions I found myself in the middle of all of the players waiting to take the field. I could not see over everyone to see what was ahead, but when I looked up I could see the fans in the stands holding lights. I held my wide angle lens above my head and snapped a few photos. When I brought the camera back down I checked the playback image and I was happy with the result. (Karl Roser / Pittsburgh Steelers)
