THE coolest sports photography event of the year is filling up quick!
This hands-on workshop features an award-winning faculty of photographers and gives participants the opportunity to shoot real sports events and receive one-on-one critiques nightly.
Sports Shooter Academy VIII will be held Sept. 21-25, 2011 in Orange County, Calif. Sports events on the workshop shooting schedule include: College football, volleyball, water polo, cross country and soccer plus surfing, beach volleyball and boxing. Lecture topics include: Using remote cameras, gym lighting, business practices for photographers and getting the most out of your speedlights.
“It’s real world experience here folks,” said Matt Brown, a Southern California- based freelance photographer and Academy co-founder.
The Sports Shooter Academy is sponsored by Nikon, which will have their latest professional cameras, lenses, speedlights and accessories available for workshop participants to check out to use during their shoots.
Funding provided by Nikon will allow full-time college and university students to attend the Sports Shooter Academy tuition-free.
“Sports Shooter Academy is more about seeing the picture as much as it is about shooting it,” said Michael Goulding from the Orange County Register and a workshop faculty member.
“The process you go through as a participant in The Academy is great. You’re on site with good photographers … and you talk about the picture you want to shoot there and how to see them. Then you go into the editing room and then into the critiques with them and follow that evolution all the way through.
