by Peter Read Miller
Overview
In Peter Read Miller on Sports Photography, the 30-year Sports
Illustrated veteran photographer takes you into the action of many
of his most iconic shots, relating the stories behind the photos of
some of the world’s greatest athletic events, including the
Olympics and the Super Bowl.
Discussing the circumstances surrounding particular shots, Peter
shares observations of the athletes themselves, and provides tips
and techniques for sports photographers of all levels looking to
capture great photos of football, track and field, gymnastics, and
swimming, as well as dynamic portraits of athletes. Unlike photo
collections by other greats of sports photography, this book
seamlessly interweaves the images and the fascinating stories
behind them with photographic instruction, while giving you an
inside look at what it’s like to work at the nation’s
leading sports publication.
Beautifully illustrated with images from the Olympics, football,
and portrait sessions with professional athletes, this book offers
a rich and inspiring experience for sports photographers, sports
fans, and Sports Illustrated readers.
