SPACE IS LIMITED, PLEASE ONLY REGISTER IF YOU CAN ATTEND. ABOUT RICK MAYRick is a Seattle-based sports photography who has successfully bridged the gap between sports, landscapes, and portraits. He teaches that sports photography is a variety of photography specializations rolled into one genre. He is often finding himself doing many different things. At times it might be doing meaningful, environmental portraits. And at other times it's trying to tell a story in 10 pictures as opposed to making one picture that embraces everything that he wants to say. “Every great image tells a story. As a sports photographer, you are called on to tell these stories in 1/1,600th of a second or faster, which is literally faster than the blink of an eye.” If my photograph is visually captivating, engages with you, and brings you into the moment - then I’ve done my job. "A good sports photographer must master many types of photography. On any given game day, she or he might get a broad shot of a stadium (architecture), a close–up of an athlete giving an autograph to a fan (lifestyle), the home run hit that decides the game (action), or a stack of branded baseball bats (product). “The challenging side is not only being able to be an ‘action’ photographer, but also an artist, an editorial photographer, and a commercial photographer.” My collective experiences weave themselves into the images I create, and I’ve been blessed to study amongst some of the elite photographers in the field today.
