The Kentucky Derby entrance points are a personal favorite to photograph because they tell the story before the race begins.
These crowds aren’t dressed casually — every look is deliberate. Bright, bold colors. Derby-specific attire. Pieces chosen weeks in advance for this exact moment.
There’s a collective joy in the air as people make their way inside, eager to place their bets, witness history, and experience the pageantry that makes the Derby unlike anything else.
