In this YouTube video, I discuss some of my favourite sports photography tips for beginners.
If you’re new to sports photography then you will be spending a lot of time reading articles, watching videos and speaking to other photographers. Finding your way can be tricky and some of the things you learn in the first year of sports photography will likely be among the most valuable.
I’ve put together the video to go through some of the most important things I have learned over the last 7+ years of photographing professional sports in England. As always, some of this is open to opinion, but in my experience shooting football (soccer), these tips will stand you in good stead if you’re looking to eventually shoot for newspapers, agencies, etc.
In brief, my tips are below, but be sure to watch the video further down this page for the full run-down. Also, I’d love it if you’d consider subscribing to my channel on YouTube.
