A Champion Rodeo Photographer

Lindsey Wyllie just won his sixth consecutive Photographer of the Year award.

Not too many photographers can pitch themselves on the side as professional announcers of the events they cover. But that’s the case with Lindsey Wyllie (pictured), a rodeo photographer and rodeo announcer.

Wyllie recently won, for the sixth consecutive year, Photographer of the Year honors from Your Competitor News, the leading rodeo magazine published in the western U.S. The magazine is bi-monthly during spring, summer and fall, and monthly in the winter.
