What team do you want to photograph?

[@donshields2379]

Loved the video. I don't really have a team. I live Track and Field. Chasing the light is a great tip.

[@MichaelTerndrup]

The Red Sox

[@jhill.7216]

Memphis Redbirds!!

[@smithbrownjones]

France or New Zealand.....Rugby, obvs. UPDATE: Had time to ponder; changed my mind to any of the Teams in the Lingerie League. 👍🏻

[@paulmilner8641]

Texas Rangers

[@mmkline1989]

Great tips. I shoot high school football, and being prepared for the celebration is one of the hardest parts on a crowded sideline. I also learned quickly not to dwell on the missed shots, that way lies madness!

[@brucebrodersen4504]

These five tips are simple yet essential in explaining both the mechanical and mental prep work that goes into creating beautiful sports imagery. These are worthy not just on a professional level, but for all photographers. Jean's work is amongst the best and I can't thank her enough for sharing!

[@ajr5062]

I recently started going into sports photography, and watching this video not only taught me the 5 tips from Jean but also through her imagery with regards to composition and those ‘moments’ that are not to miss when taking pictures. Great video! ❤️

[@adamliebmusic]

Jean's images are consistently gorgeous and none more so then those shots bathed in natural light. These short TIPS videos always give me something new to try and meaningful ways to improve my own images. Thank you!

[@CharmingCharlez]

Spot on Jean, being a studio photographer Your first tip makes all the difference. Took the focus factor off my mind and allows me to create

[@emmanuellehuu8818]

That was the best video on this subject by far, and the shortest, straight to the point. I wish people didn't do "content" and have long videos just to explain vaguely everything everybody already knows...

[@matthewrolon]

ive always taught myself not to really look back at images when i shoot. sometimes to make sure im getting my exposure and everything right but i like to just constantly shoot and then just see what photos i missed after the game

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks for sharing the video and the information 🙏👍

[@rodneywoodley3289]

[@rayg3354]

What’s the tip for getting into the photographer’s well?

[@LiveeyePhoto]

Wow this is awesome

[@MichaelTerndrup]

I am a baseball photographer for my local baseball farmer baseball league

[@BPDhotshot]

Tip #6....Have $35k worth of gear.

[@daniilkuchinskiy715]

Only 3 a1 bodies are around 30k but the lenses i think total is around 50k 💀 just go get 7d mark ii 70-200 2.8 1st gen and you can produce really good photos not perfect but like really good some photoshop and they're gonna be perfect lookalike and only 1500-1700$ like tf

[@threemusketeers2770]

Bro come to Kenya

[@larrypikecfa2556]

Great tips! But I think I need to get your equipment.

[@DannyWProductions]

How many cameras you need dawg 😭💀💀

[@sohmiJesuswithme]

[@DarkIris007]

She is carrying at least $30k+ worth of equipment! Lol

[@Hereforfun441]

Here's a tip.... Be very rich or work for a media company and have amazing contacts 😜 Nothing worse than influencers coming on here using 20k lenses and flagship bodies.
