Whether you photograph sports or not, I find it useful to step back from my usual subjects and look at other styles of photography. You never know what ideas you might get!

Shooting great sports photographs requires quick reflexes, technical know-how, and the ability to anticipate the action. In this podcast, I’ll talk through the secrets to capturing compelling sports images:

  1. Know the Sport
  2. Use the Right Gear
  3. Optimize Camera Settings
  4. Pay Attention to Composition
  5. Find the Best Angle
  6. Capture the Peak Moment
  7. Work with Available Light
  8. Tell a Story
  9. Be Prepared
  10. Respect the Game and Athletes
  11. Experiment with Creative Shots
  12. Edit Thoughtfully

Bonus Tips:

  1. Practice: Sports photography requires quick thinking and practice to master timing and technique.
  2. Shoot in RAW: Capture more detail and have greater flexibility in post-processing.
  3. Stay Safe: Be aware of fast-moving players, balls, or equipment.

I hope you enjoy it.

Best wishes
