Sports Photography MASTERY - with Jean Fruth

[@chrisjmiller6]

Everyone deserves to be photographed. I do youth sports so it's important to include all the players, not just the starters. Opportunities are everywhere. Get out and take photos every day if you can

You’re absolutely right! And thank you for listening/watching :)

As a college sports photographer, I tell people not to go in asking for a sideline pass for Division I football. Offer to shoot tennis or rowing or volleyball. The sports information people (and their parents) want pictures of those players too. Do it for free if you're serious about it. That gets you known to the SIDs and two things can happen if you produce a good product. You may get the opportunity to move to men's basketball or football for the local college. But more often, a visiting team or their local media might not be able to afford to send their own photographer. So they ask the host SID for recommendations for someone to be a stringer for the visiting team. And the SID will always recommend someone they know who has produced good work for them in the past, even if their past good work is in non-revenue sports.

That's really great advice. Thank you @mikephotos225
