Behind the Royals Camera: Candid Moments from the Minors

What does baseball look like when you step behind the lens? In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, Jeremy “Hokius” Greco sits down with Minda Haas Kuhlmann, independent sports photographer for the Omaha Storm Chasers, to explore the art, access, and storytelling that define modern sports photography. Minda traces her path into photography through journalism, explains how candid moments create authentic connections between players and fans, and shares what it’s like to document minor league baseball up close. From unexpected player interactions to historically significant moments caught on camera, she reveals how trust, timing, and respect are just as important as technical skill. The conversation dives into the technical side of photography—gear choices, framing, and learning to anticipate moments—while also highlighting the human side of the game. Minda discusses how players respond to photographers, why minor league baseball is essential to the sport’s future, and how fans can help preserve baseball culture by showing up and supporting their local teams. This episode blends craft, culture, and storytelling, offering valuable insight for baseball fans, creatives, and anyone interested in how sports are documented beyond the box score.
