I have held out as long as I could, but I am finally going to put up some of my sports stuff. Shooting sports is my kryptonite, so if anybody would give me some pointers... any pointers, I would be super grateful.
Baseball's the hardest sport to shoot. That goes double if you aren't into sports and don't know the game. It's good to get high and try different things, but there's a reason baseball photographers typically stick to the first and third base sides. Most of it is trial and error. I like the baseball shot of the guy sliding into second. It would have been great if you were up high and on the other side of the bleachers, but you might have missed something later. You never know.
Going beyond the surface is something that I strive for as a photojournalist. My love for people, culture and diversity allows me to be consistently positive and excited about the world around me, and my career as a journalist.
As a graduate from Western Kentucky University, I have been taught by some of the best professionals in our field. Fine-tuning my ethics, striving for accuracy and acquiring skills as a visual journalist at Western has educated me beyond photography.
