Professional Sports Photography: An INSIDE Look At The MLS 

Seeing you in real time, was very interesting! You are definitely working hard.

@@Twobarpsi Lots of hard work. Fun but hard!

It actually was, It was like being iside your head, and that helps to think before shooting, to give a meaning to single photo, for advertising, stock etc, thanks a lot again!

@@luisleon9815 Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and comenting!

Extremely! Hoping to work with a media company soon and seeing this aspect is so very helpful. Love to see some videos about your in-game workflow. Thanks for sharing ALL this knowledge/info!!

Haha. I had to edit out most of that stuff. Good luck against KC, let me know if you travel up to New England next year!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Good idea with the 300mm. I'd have to look back and see what actually sells for me.

Glad you enjoy it and thanks for the repsonse!

Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for letting me know!

Glad you enjoyed it

My pleasure!

Glad you like it!

Thanks for watching and the kind words! More to come.

Glad it helps! I'll keep that in mind to expand on in the future. But in general it depends a little on the score of the game and who is taking the corner, free kick, penalty. But in general for corners I'll prefocus on the goalie then try and switch to the person I think will head the ball. For free kicks and penalties it depends on the position I'm in as well. A lot of times getting the person kicking isn't a necessarily a great photo, but a save would be. So I'll focus on the goalie to try and get the save, but then switch to the shooter if I know it ended up a goal to get the celebration. An exception would be if the player kicking is super famous, Messi, or I need a photo of them kicking the ball. Hope that helps!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! Honestly I'm not sure what brand they are, my wife got them as a gift a few years ago. But they have holes at the end of the thumbs and index fingers which is perfect.

Happy to help!

Haha. It is very nice they give us chairs to use. I have a step stool as well for other sports in case there isn't anything to sit on. That is not as comfortable with my long legs.

Glad it helps!!! Have fun out there!

I have another video about getting credentials that should be helpful! But the main gist is to shoot as much as you can, make a portfolio, network with other local photographers, and try to get in with some local blogs/media sights to start out.

Thanks for watching and commenting! Let me know if you ever have any specific questions or sports you want to see,

I was shooting 1/2000th, F/2.8, and ISO 3200.

Thanks! I am shooting in Jpeg. When shooting for a wire service they want small fast to deliver files. But I generally set up my white balance before the game.

It is very confusing. Instead of me writing a bunch of text I suggest watching my other video about getting credentials to games. Should be helpful. No photography degree necessary. My degree is in economics. haha

Great question. In terms of shooting locations it really depends on the sport and venue. Some stadiums in the MLB allow you to go wherever as long as you aren't in the fans way and others have strict shooting positions. If it is your first time at a venue I suggest asking other photographers or a team staff member if they are available. Other photographers will be happy to let you know whats going on if you tell them its your first time there and are polite!

Glad it helps! I've tried a few and it never seems to actually help my knees so I go without them.

Not sure what happened. It went private for some reason but I made it public again so you should be able to watch!

Roughly 5 thousand.
