The Basics of Sports Portrait Photography

Creating Dynamic Images of Athletes

Image

This book is about photographing portraits, specifically those of athletes. It is about photographing amateur athletes in a flattering way. Many different companies take team photos, and they do a great job, but there is no reason you have to rely on them for a great photo of your athlete. I start with photography basics and then move on to gear, lighting, and taking photos both indoors and out.
