Sports gives photographers an opportunity to capture incredible moments in time, but often presents challenging lighting scenarios and other elements outside of their control. Join West Coast-based photographer Kelley L Cox to learn how to see and think like a sports photographer and feel comfortable covering any sport. In this workshop, you will gain insight on how to cover specific sports as well as tips that can be applied to improve your overall photography skill set.

The presentation will cover:
Capturing Peak Action and Emotion
Story Telling with Sports Photography

Finding the Best Light and Angle
Camera Settings for Various Situations and Sports
What it Takes to be a Pro – Workflow and Management
