"Dear Will and Brain! In the midst of all the dust settling I wanted to extend our gratitude yet again for being there with us through the VBAF! You bring to life the trials and jubilations that athletes endure in a style that only the two of you could ever hope to achieve! Honestly, I cannot tell you how many racers are constantly highly highly impressed by you....(we really do want to have people daring enough to go behind you and film the two of you in action! I smell a reality show? Will and Brian, trample the weak and hurdle the dead to bring adventure to life) It is amazing what you accomplish. Endless amounts of people have the opportunity to experience the adventure without being there, or without the ability to do it themselves. Family, friends....you are the adventure racing/ world of athletics glue!!!! You make it possible for us to continue in a sport that we love. Because of your pictures, we can reach people who may stand in our way with restrictions on thought and action. And of course, the level of enjoyment that we get in actually viewing and purchasing your pictures is just beyond words! Thanks again for all that you guys do and all that you are!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!"

“Brightroom would never come out here!”
- Racer upon meeting photographers Will Ramos & Brian Knight on their way through one of the hardest sections of the race.

"Will takes amazing photos! He has a real knack for capturing emotion,
framing, and using light to make his images truly special. He also has
an uncanny ability to get to the action and blend into the background so
most people do not even realize their photo is being taken. I think this
is one of the reasons he gets such great shots: people are being
real - not posing for the photographer. It is always fun for me to view
the photos from our races because I know that Will is going to to have
some really spectacular images....he always does. Not only does Will
have great talent but he is also very easy to work with and fun to be
around. We are lucky to have Will at our races!"

"I do not think you will ever find a harder working photographer and as you know, his work is exceptional. Out of the 6-7 photographers Odyssey has had over the years, Will is without doubt, the hardest working and most talented photographer we have ever had the pleasure of working with. He simply works around the clock and is able to get to 4-5 locations where the less enthusiastic/less motivated photographers make it to 2-3 sites…There are so many competitors racing in PQ who know Will through Odyssey. They know Will and they love his work."

"It is always awesome to have Will and crew out at events! He always manages to catch great moments... and for me the embarressing/goofy ones too! But I guess those are memories too... ones I may forget if Will wasn't there shooting away with his camera!"

"Hi Will, This was my first year participating in races (tcm1,2,3) and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I have to say that you and your people on location take awesome shots.I couldnt wait to see the action photos come online from the photographers embedded along the course. What great, clear, closeup shots- a true talent for pulling and catching these split second moments... I will be ordering each race cd to reflect back and enjoy the day. Please continue to partner with the tcm series!!!"

best race pics I've seen!"

"Hi, I wasn't expecting ya'll to be on the trail taking pictures. It was great to have pictures of us all in the woods in the midst of our running! The colors in the photos are great and I thought ya'll chose wonderful locations to stand. Thanks for being there! - Rachel L.

clear and bright and perfect. Thank you so much and
thanks for being at the event and taking pictures. It's
always fun to see where you and Brian will turn up." - Jenny

"Got a great quality photo with the best packaging and shipping! Thank you so much for the access to a great product!" - Kathy G.
|
"The 2006 calendar is awesome!!! Very high quality. I recommend anyone that has not ordered one to do so before it's too late. As with any of Will's work, you won't be disappointed! This collection of photos is another way for Will to display his unique ability to capture the heart and soul of his subjects." - Deb C.
|
"High Quality, Fast turnaround, Thanks!" - Stephen F.

"...I have
been meaning to email you to say how great your photos
are. I took a good long look at the site (after BYB1)
and really was amazed."
- Christine B.

"Will - I just loved all the photos from that day... it was pretty much indescribable! You were an absolute trooper to hang out with us all day. I had travelled alone, so had no other way to get a photo. I was thrilled to print yours, found them very affordable, and sent your web site to many, many friends!" - Beth
|
"You do fantastic work! I think its wonderful that you were able to capture almost all of the runners, that makes it special for everyone.Great job and look forward to seeing the pictures from the next race." - Dawn W.
|
"Thanks for the great pictures! It's been great showing my friends just how
much "fun" I was having in the snow that day at
Holiday Lake. I really appreciate the fact that your pictures are
affordable compared to other race photography
services. I normally can't order any race pictures,
because after paying for the race and travel, it's
hard to justify paying $15 or more for just one
picture. Also, your pictures are excellent!" - Martha W.
|
"The prints arrived promptly, well-packaged and looked as good as the online images promised, if not better. The photographs really captured the race so well. I will order prints from here again." - Lisa M.
|
"The picture of me running through the stream in the snow during the Holiday Lake 50K++ really captured the difficulty of the race. Thanks for a great picture! My wife purchased it in an 8x10 for the scrapbook she's putting together of my races."
- Roger D.
|
"Thanks so much for the photos. You are a stunning photographer and a first class guy. I hope to see you at the Triple Iron again this fall." - Garrett M.
|
"Thanks so much for taking the pics at the Holiday Lake 50k on February 11. It was kind of a nasty day for being outside all day (when you weren't running!). There were 3 pics of me that came out well and captured the essence of the race. Hope to see you at future events." - Hamilton T.
|
"Just wanted to let you know, me and my teammate were the two folks appearing on the calendar for the month of March. I was really excited about it and have asked all my friends to call me Mr. March from now on. I've ordered more than a handful for family and friends. Thanks for being out there covering these races in sometimes nasty conditions." - Ken B.
|
"I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it. We both really enjoy your art. We are a business focused on fitness with a passion for the outdoors. To that your photos speak volumes. Again, thank you for your generosity. My only hope is that we can return the favor by spreading interest in your excellent work."

|
"That WAS a great shot! And, since I could not be there to see my daughter race, I had to have the photo." - Efi |
"You truly have a gift and en eye. God has blessed you with the ability to pull from our experiences, the feelings we had through your pictures. I can feel every ounce of pain and pleasure as I resaw the race through your pictures. Of course you had plenty of me flying out of the boat in "Surprise" rapid. Honestly, that actually was cool and I needed a refreshing anyway after all that paddling. Thanks again for the great shots. I am going to get a couple to give to my daughter in a couple weeks when she visits." - Mark M.

"I am so cheesy, but I buy ALL the event pictures you take!! They are FANTASTIC! I did a few EX2 events last year (bought your pictures to prove it!) and I plan to do more this year. The next event I am planning is the OAR Endorphin Fix, and I hope you'll be there too! Not only are your pictures just amazing, but your customer service is awesome as well. I am blown away by the fact that you are such an accomplished and successful photographer, yet you still take the time to personally respond to all the orders that are placed with you. Keep up the great work, and I truly wish you much continued success! See you at the races!!" Niki A.

"...In the gallery for the 2nd Cranky Monkey race, you currently have 905 photos. In photo 261 - I noticed a glove - it looked similar to my own, and it was clutching a broken chain! It was mine! I was very impressed you guys could get a shot like that - I would like to commend you guys on that shot - it brought back all those feelings (exactly what photographs are meant for) of when I ripped the pin out on the first climb of my last lap (I was in fourth place - not for long, haha). It's amazing how a piece of metal bent one quarter inch out line can render it useless. Once again I would just like to say how amazing that shot is, and how all your other photos seem to catch the most emotional moments in other peoples' lives." -Max
|
"Thanks for capturing 'memories' and 'moments' that no one else can..not in my family anyway!!!" -Julia |
"Mr. Ramos, I would first like to say that I LOVE your work. You capture the most amazing shots..." -Danielle |
"Thanks Will! I placed the order this eve! It was kinda cool to look back over some of the old ones ... you've got IT Will ... you capture the essence, feel, etc. - it was great to sense being in those moments again ..." -Lorie |
"Hey Will, It was great to finally meet you. You are such an awesome photographer and watching your work and getting your advices was and still is very helpful in becoming somewhat better photographer myself..." -Vytenis Benetis |
"Will- Wow wow wow. What a way to handle your first non-freelance gig! Your quality, as usual, is very good and your consistency is once again there. It must be nice for editors to know if you are covering an event that they will get good pics!"
- Jamie Webster |
" Will, got the picture this weekend. The quality is incredible - I had no idea how good this would turn out. Matting is top notch. Thanks again - this is going to be a great X-mas present for my sister." -Dave |
"There was not opportunity to provide comments in the order form, but I did want to say these were far and away the best racing photos that I have seen after 10 years in the sport. I liked the fact that many of the photos provided a different view or angle from those shot of most race photographers. I especially liked the black and whites. The photos are much more memorable than others I have seen. You have a great eye and talent. Best wishes." -Ted W. |
"I was very impressed by your photography at the Odyssey 1/2 Iron Triathlon race. It shows that you're a skilled artist. By far the best work I have seen in any of my sporting events! The price is great too- the competition ought to be weary."
-Steve P. |
"We have been so proud to offer Will Ramos' photos to our athletes. Will has a unique talent in capturing the perseverance, determination, drive and emotion of our competitors. Will demonstrates a true sense of knowing where the best shots are and has the boundless energy to do what it takes to get them. The fine art prints he offers are the best quality photos we\'ve seen in this business and comparable to professional studio portraits that you\'d pay so much more for. It's so much fun getting on this user-friendly site and browsing through all the photos after an event. We\'re always amazed at the variety of backdrops, the creativity of composition, and the intuition of knowing what shots the athletes want. Thanks WILL!"

"Will, It is simply amazing!! I have never ever seen better adventure photos!! I watch for The Beast new uploads almost hourly, and page after page I find photo masterpieces. You really are extremely talented and perfectionist. Unbelievable!! ...If images are worth a thousand words, I think no words could be as meaningful, beautiful and descriptive as the images you took of us, and they capture so much the intensity of the race, the beauty of the natural surroundings and the spirit of our team."
