I've only ever just been shotting my wife play hockey to get good shots - shots that I am proud of. However, now some of the players in her team also play juniors, and some of the parents would like me along to take shots of them. This will be a whole new kettle of fish. Firstly, it may assist in my camera lust
, but more importantly it means taking shots to suit others; most people don't care about artistically great shots, or technically perfect shots.
So what is it that a event/sports shooter should look for in their shots, to appeal to parents etc... I have looked at many people's online galleries, and find that I don't post many shots per game. Others post 100 or 200 shots, but still only have 20 or 30 I'd be happy to have in a gallery (and this goes for some of the big names).
Do those other get picked by parents? Are parents happy to see all the dross in a gallery just as long each parent gets a pic of their kid?
