Neil Leifer is an American photographer known for his iconic sports photographs featured in Sports Illustrated and TIME Magazine. He was known for being a risk taker and that resulted in sports photographs taken from unique perspectives. He took what is known as one of the greatest sports photographs of all time when Muhammad Ali knocked out Sonny Liston in May, 1965. I have a copy of that photo framed in my house.
Hy Money is acknowledged as the first female sports photographers in Britain. She began taking pictures of soccer matches in the 1970s when females were banned from taking photos on the sideline in certain stadiums. She then went on to become the official photographer for Crystal Palace Football Club.
