Most people know Caitlin Clark for her accomplishments on the basketball court. But her interests extend beyond the game. She is the type of person who takes on something new and develops skill in it.
That was evident with golf, when she participated in LPGA pro-am events and held her own alongside professionals. So when another pursuit appeared, it drew attention. On Wednesday night, that pursuit was photography, and it was on the sidelines.
Caitlin Clark Displays Photography Skills at Lakers-Pacers Game
During the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, fans noticed Clark on the sidelines. She was not in uniform but instead carried a camera, working as a guest photographer for the evening.

Fans on social media quickly speculated about the camera. Many believed it belonged to Bri Lewerke, the Indiana Fever’s photographer, who has covered the team for the past two years.
During road trips and downtime with the Fever, Clark often borrowed Lewerke’s Fujifilm camera, usually the compact X100VI, and began shooting.
The photos and videos from those sessions became a popular series of Instagram and TikTok reels titled “When you give Caitlin Clark a camera,” which drew widespread attention. Wednesday night felt like a natural extension of that.
Stepping back, Clark’s presence in this role reflects her broader outlook. Last season was difficult, as she played only 13 games due to groin and ankle injuries.
This year has carried a different tone. At Duke’s training camp last December, she stated, “I’m at 100%,” and backed it up. In the FIBA World Cup qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico, she was a key factor in the U.S. team’s undefeated run, winning all five games.
Clark made a strong return following an injury-riddled sophomore campaign in the WNBA. In the opener against Senegal, she recorded 17 points and 12 assists, then followed with a quieter performance of 8 points, 2 assists, and 3 rebounds, along with a block and a steal against Puerto Rico.
She then produced consecutive double-digit scoring efforts, finishing with 12 points on 5 shots and 5 assists against Italy, and 14 points on 11 shots with 6 assists against New Zealand. Clark closed the group stage with seven points and seven assists, completing the sweep for Team USA.
She averaged 11.6 points per game on 52.9% shooting, along with 6.4 assists and 1.6 rebounds, winning MVP. With her positive mindset both on and off the court, Clark appears prepared for what lies ahead.
