@KathrynJay1, a local photographer known throughout Berkeley High for her exceedingly impassioned sports photography, skillfully captures some of the most exceptional, and storytelling photos of Berkeley High's largest sporting events. Her work is displayed on her personal Instagram account and populates the occasional Berkeley High Jacket sports section. Being featured in such high quality work is an incredible excitement to many student athletes, however some have recently felt opposingly upon a second examination of their action shots.
"My arms look great- I mean, I was jacked as fuck- but as far as my facial expression, it's just giving constipation: a long time on the toilet with little to no progress." said Samara Sultana Hackett, a senior in AC, who prefers to remain anonymous. Admittedly, the odd face is easy to make mid-stride, leap, or stroke, but such faces are generally unnoticeable when viewing live-action. One would imagine that sports photographers take photos in continuous shooting or burst mode, picking through said bursts after the fact, selecting only shots that highlight the athletes best angles and capture their most empowering and athletic facial features. However, suspicion is arising that Jayl is doing quite the opposite.
"Jayl made me afraid of home games." said Zada Belle Sanger, a senior in AC, who prefers to remain anonymous. "No one is safe when she's on the sidelines." she added. Volleyball has been a large source of complaints against sports photographers in general. Bumping, setting and spiking have the tendency to force a volleyballer into exhibiting unusually silly faces... or maybe that's just how they look. On the other hand, students belonging to mask-requiring sports such as lacrosse and football complain next to never. Among these students are some of Jayl's biggest fans. One of these students was recently quoted as to saying "She's basically obsessed with me the way I always look cracked in her pics, but yeah those water polo players... she for sure has it out for them"
