Description

Capturing an athlete in motion requires a quick eye, and a unique sense of timing and reflexes. Through regular assignments at local athletic events, this course helps you to develop the skills necessary to produce good sports photography. In addition to dealing with all technical aspects involved in photographing action, this course will seek to heighten your sensitivity to the emotional themes that run through all sports. Courage, perseverance, passion, frustration, and triumph are some of these themes, and you will be encouraged to explore these in your assignments. We will photograph daily at local events which may include polo, baseball, football, harness racing, and tennis. There will be daily group discussions, and critiques of work produced in class.
