What is your approach to sports photography?

[bradmangin]

Wow- this is the best set of quick tips to help ANYONE shoot an event like a baseball game I have ever seen put together. The only thing missing is being able to share the joy of shooting with Jean in person at a great field anywhere in the world. So cool!

I’m smitten by your gorgeous shots, Jean, so thank you for sharing these invaluable tips. One of my favorites is the importance of thinking about the story you want to tell. Technical skills are, of course, important, but storytelling is the watermark that makes it ones own - as personal an ingredient of the “secret sauce” as is composition. Love your work!

I just LOVE all of Jean Fruth’s videos. They are always clear, chockfull of great info and always, always have such beautiful pictures. Makes me want to go out and shoot as soon as I finish one of her videos. She also made me a believer in the Sony A1 for sports photography. Thanks Jean!

I have always admired Jean's work and these tips demonstrate how, with just a little planning, imagination and mindset, you can take your own pictures to a new level. I would consider myself lucky to get a couple of good, interesting shots at an event. After reviewing these thoughtful ideas and perspectives shared by Jean, I can see my "luck" drastically improving in the future!

So many incredible images, and Jean always seems to find the perfect sunlight or best time of day to capture the scene. I've watched this video 3 times, I've taken notes - and I'm pretty sure there are MORE than FIVE super useful tips here.
Thank you!

These are incredible tips. I would have never thought of thinking about the sun position hours before the shadows come into play. Such amazing images throughout the video. This is the perfect lesson for any photography class!

Sports photography involves a little bit of luck with a touch of magic, but Jean’s tips go a long way to sorting out your path to making great pictures. Anyone can shoot a picture but not everyone is a photographer
