About the course

This three part series is a beginner level tutorial on how to take great sports and action photographs. It is taught by Don McPeak, a semi-retired pro sports photographer with over 10,000 publication credits.

Part One is a series of lectures about the basics of technical mastery: about using your camera as a tool. It begins with some fundamental concepts about photojournalism (Or telling a story through pictures) and is the foundation for the entire three part series. 

The balance of this first class provides insights into camera gear, settings, and how to manage light to help the student create their own mini portfolio for evaluation later in the series.

What can you learn from this course?

The project is very simple. Using the basic information provided in Part One of this series, the student will photograph a game or event of their choosing and select their ten best to serve as a mini portfolio of ‘before’ shots to be used at the end of Part Three to compare the student’s progress. 

If shooting an event is not practical for the student, they may select ten shots from a single event they have been to in the last few years. 

Ultimately, the overall project for the series will be to create two portfolios from similar events. We will compare them and, with any luck, be able to see improvements on several fronts.
