Sports photography is the real reason I got back into the photography game.
My wife and I have 2 daughters and as they grew, we did the "sports thing" with them by getting them in Soccer, Field-Hockey and Softball throughout their early school years. This carried them through high school where their interests morphed into Orchestra related programs and another type of photography for dad.
Through the years my professional sports photography is a little limited simply because I do not market myself that way. I have however by sheer volume of events I capture and the venues I have, photographed all types of sports and exhibitions from Professional Bull Riding, Professional Wrestling, Arena Sports (motorcycle races on ice, indoor race car events, dirt bike competitions). I have covered a few charity races for the Susan G. Koman Foundation and even a tug-of-war for ODU. Even though this is not my primary concentration, I am comfortable covering most sports. It is simply a matter or marketing. |
