Andy Watson of Bull Stock Media is in his 26^th season as the PBR’s lead photographer and has captured nearly every ride in PBR history.

“To be able to freeze that moment and look at it and see everything in it is really cool, and to (the riders) it means a lot,” Watson said. “Every ride is something special, whether it is good, bad, great form or their buddies are in the background.”

This season, Watson is taking fans behind the lens of some of his favorite photos, sharing his thoughts and processes as he covers each Unleash The Beast event.

Below are Watson's favorite images from the PBR Nampa Invitational in Nampa, Idaho.

"Nampa’s arena offers some unusual opportunities for photography. There is a very small hallway that everyone uses to get to the bucking chutes. TV has lights along the way so they can shoot the riders walking back to the locker room. When you can capture the guys walking in and out of these lights, the images look like they were shot with a studio setup. It’s always fun to find creative spots to shoot!"

"Another event where the iconic Be Cowboy sign comes into play. I always like the way the lights from the sign work into an image, especially here when the riders were introduced as they walked over the shark cage."

"Getting things right before you take a wrap is always important. I like this shot of Junior Patrik Souza because he provides us with a feeling of seriousness. The thoughts that go through a guy's head at this point are only known to those who have been there."

"Some of the most unsung heroes in our sport are the sports medicine team. Our riders put all their trust in them to help them stay healthy and recover quickly from injuries. Eduardo Aparecido is pretty happy to have them at his side after taking a shot during the Nampa event. You can rest assured the team will have him up and running by next week's event in Omaha."

"Kaique Pacheco is No. 1 in the PBR world standings right now for a reason. He is making bull riding look easy week after week. It was sure fun to capture him riding Chiseled for 90.25 points last weekend on his way to the event win. I always know when he nods his head, great things are about to happen."
