Description

Capturing an athlete in motion requires a quick eye, a unique sense of timing and reflexes and the ability to tune in to the emotions and rhythms of the game. Join Adam Stoltman, a veteran sports photographer and former deputy picture editor for Sports Illustrated Magazine, on a series of sports shoots in the Palm Beach area. Through these regular assignments, this workshop will help you to develop the skills to consistently produce good sports and action photography. In addition to dealing with all technical aspects involved in photographing action, this workshop will seek to heighten your sensitivity to the subtler themes that run through all sports. You will benefit from both being at a live event each day and from the perspective of a 30 year veteran, who has covered 10 Olympic Games, and countless other sporting events around the world.
