Shutterbug pronounces editorial sports photography as DEAD, dead, dead
On 2015-10-10 00:46:06 +0000, RichA said:
Their latest issue explains why, from a group of professionals. Seems that the remaining sports photogs are likely contracted by teams themselves. The smartphone sports photographer isn't about to replace the pro on the sidelines at the major sporting events, from tennis, football (both types NFL & FIFA), NBA, MLB, NHL, open tennis, F1 auto racing, Olympics, etc. Some photogs will be contracted by teams, some by media, and some will be credentialed as free-lancers. What you won't find are prime locations at sporting events crowded with the selfie mob hoping for a scoop. No smartphone is going to replace a pro-grade camera with quality fast glass. -- Regards, Savageduck
