NFL stars are usually on the other end of pro sports cameras. But Arizona Cardinals rookie Kei'Trel Clark wanted to see what it's like to be behind the lens, hitting the sidewalk to try his hand at street photography.

Drafted by the Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, it didn't take long for Clark to express his interest in shooting to the team's official photographer, Caitlyn Epes. She armed him with a Nikon D6 (yes, many elite sports shooters stuck with DSLRs over the Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9) and an 85mm lens, and the pair hit the streets of Arizona to see what the cornerback was capable of.
