From Parent to Pro: A Beginner’s Guide to Learning Sports Photography - LIVE

Do you love photographing athletes? Do you want your images to look more like those found in magazines? Do you want to take better pictures of your children on the field? Join sports photographer Aaron Libed as he breaks down capturing sports and teaches photographers basic and more advanced techniques to make better images from athletic events. This workshop is for beginner and enthusiast sports photographers who already have a good understanding of their camera and the exposure triangle. We will be discussing the exposure triangle and its relationship to sports photography. This course is not intended to go in-depth on camera and image basics.

• Tips on getting better sports images
• - At the venue

• Tips on how to shoot different sports
• - Big field sports

The goal of the workshop is to further the passion you have for shooting sports by giving you more tools to make better sports images. We will also have a question-and-answer session after the presentation.
