Event Photography


Photographing important events is one of my personal favorite things to do. Concerts, sporting events, and celebrity charity events are a couple of my most commonly photographed events. Above is a photograph I took of DJ Girl Talk performing before thousands of fans in West Palm Beach, FL. The largest event I ever photographed was the 2013 Presidential Election of Barack Obama. (Below) Preparing to shoot important events is often overwhelming for some people, but I find it exciting and interesting. You must make sure extra batteries are charged, memory cards are empty, and camera lens' are easy to access. When I shoot big events and far from my subject, I often use larger lens' and move as close as I can to the subject. For more artistic shots, I like to use wide-angle lens' and/or a fish eye lens to get a more distorted/interesting look.
