His photographs were also distributed by leading global photo agency Getty Images. It was a star shooting stars and what is even more remarkable, it was Griffey’s first time photographing golf. Griffey, who known as “the Kid” in the US due to the fact his father Ken Griffey Sr. was also a baseball superstar, only took up photography at the age of 35. He began by taking photos at his children’s sporting events, partly motivated by a desire to escape a wave of well-intentioned parents keen to talk about his career. “People would think if I’m sitting in the stands smiling, they can come up and talk to me,” Griffey told AP. “So if I got a camera, they didn’t really know what I was doing. It was a way for me to really focus in and watch the kids, and not critique what they were doing, but just be in the moment with them.”
