Biographical / Historical

Rodeo photography started early in the history of the sport. In the 1910s when rodeos became more popular and started taking place across the American West, photographers tried to capture the energy and drama of the different events. Early photographers like Ralph R. Doubleday pioneered the process of capturing rodeos in photographs.
