Fans of the NFL world enjoy some high-definition coverage and some impossible camera angle highlights from their screens. And the entire credit goes to out-of-the-box and talented photographers finding the perfect spot for a click that leaves the world mesmerized.

Freelance photographer Janaye Johnson recently found that perfect spot hundreds of feet above an NFC divisional round fixture. Johnson works for the Minnesota Vikings and documented the harrowing experience via a 360-degree video on her social media accounts. And fans were equally shell-shocked while watching the life-threatening experience.

Fans were taken aback by the NFL photographer’s bravery

Johnson has her bargaining chip with the NFL for a raise or a permanent position after the stellar pictures she picked up from her one-of-a-kind spot. The creative director put up a post on her Instagram after the Giants-Vikings game captioned, “As requested.

Fans poured in their awe-struck support. “Price went up,” one fan commented.

Definitely got the shot, but still scary as h*ll,” another fan commented.

This was only Janaye’s second time shooting for the Vikings. However, she knew that she would have to be unique in order to get that callback. And the aerial eagle’s eye view from the catwalk of the US Bank Stadium was her idea after she spotted the use of the same technique in an Atlanta Falcons game this season.

The Vikings didn’t provide too many clicking opportunities for Janaye

This was a daunting task for Janaye, given her fear of heights. But she displayed the true grit of the photographer in her when she conquered her fear in order to complete the job at hand. Anything for the perfect shot! However, looks like Johnson has to find some extra gigs because the Vikings won’t be playing before the next pre-season.

The New York Giants didn’t allow Johnson too many opportunities to get those celebratory photos. The Big Blue beat the NFC North champions 31-24, much to the crowd’s and Janaye’s disappointment.

Daniel Jones passed for 304 yards and 2 touchdowns in the winning effort for the Giants. Jones also rushed for an additional 78 yards. And his offensive prowess on the night was too much for Vikings QB Kirk Cousins’ 273 yards and 2 TD effort.
