This was the most inspirational video. Takes my motivation to another level.
well i can tell where the guy leaning against the green door is from, haha.
within 20 miles of Philadelphia lolol
I've always a touch time deciding whether I should go with my 400 2.8, my 500 2.8 or my 600….
I thought they laid all their photographers off
The new 500mm 2.8 ?
Inspiring. Thanks a lot for the insight!
500 2.8?
one of my dream job. . … 😢
they all got let go by sport illustrated but that build some of the new freelance agency in the usa and rhe world i work for them sence 2014 geat work and great workplace. I love this work.
4:55 that headshot is so noisy. But I think it works with this shot in particular.
I love hearing some professionals talk like this because I've never been around any. Thanks
6:05 What application is used here? Thanks.
I know Al Tielmans.

Excellent work! Thanks for posting.
Why not to use a monopod with zoomlenses ?
inspiration thks
i love this video
great insight!
these gentleman shooters were and probably IS still, the best of the best @ SI….
Aaand they all just got fired. Sad times for professional photography …
These guys are my heroes
Look at all the lights in those stadiums, several look like a giant light box, bright and no shadows. I'd love to see their shots from say a high school or middle school stadium.
These guys would be jobless if they allowed fans to bring whatever camera they so choose into the stadium. Here in Vancouver, they limit fans to 70mm maximum for lenses.
I've always loved the pics in sports illustrated.
Amazing lenses
Did i just see someone shoot in Raw+basic instead of fine? 1:20 awesome video tho.
Theres no 500 2.8 from Canon or Nikon.
Hell yeah!!! this my life!
Dream job of mine. How do I go about getting credentials?
Greate!!!
my dream job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surprised too see they shoot raw as well.. And do they shoot with an assistent?
"You need something wide, like a 70-200mm…"
I know this is a year old, but to answer your question, the image was shot in standard square frame, however in order to fill the 16×9 image in youtube they simply copied elements over to fill it out, they expected no issue as it is on screen less than a second.
If you look you can follow the lines all the way around for the original image.
He can volunteer to do the shoot, but not give away the shots. Parents will pay, give the coaches, refs etc some nice free shots, you want them to want you there, but the parents will pay.
yeah i just got inspired
