THE EYES HAVE IT!

The eyes are the windows to the soul, they say. But in sports photography, they are the key to the action. A fellow photographer told me to try to get the player's eyes in the pictures that I send to the paper. Easier said than done when it is football season, lacrosse season, or softball season when player wear masks that hide their faces. But I was lucky enough to get some good ones. Below are some shots where the eyes play a prominent role.

Keeping his eyes on the ball!

Looking for the goal!

    What are the requirements to be a sports photographer?
    The main application of professional sports photography is for editorial purposes; dedicated sports photographers usually work for newspapers, major wire agencies or dedicated sports magazines.

      I'm still an amateur but I do contribute to the local paper. I share the photos with the players and their schools. The appreciation is in itself a payment.
