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!

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!

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!

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...

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

[francistheriault]

Nice video. What do you recommend for team pictures with lots of people in low light? Lens and settings?
