Overview

  • The New York Post and other outlets reported that Shamet was photographed in the Arthur Ashe Stadium photo pit Tuesday night shooting the Jessica Pegula–Emma Navarro quarterfinal.
  • This marks Shamet’s third consecutive US Open working with the USTA in an unpaid capacity after first shooting at the tournament in 2024 and returning in 2025.
  • Shamet remains an active member of the New York Knicks after signing a four-year, $24 million contract in late June 2026 and there is no reporting that his photography work will cut into his NBA role.
  • USTA photographer Jen Pottheiser has praised Shamet’s action photography, and Shamet has shared images taken with a Sony a7R V on social media as part of a growing portfolio.
  • His recurring volunteer work at a Grand Slam shows a sustained interest that could lead to future projects or credentials while he continues his off-season routine of traveling with a camera on road trips.
