Tips and Business Insight from a Sports Illustrated Photographer

We’re back after our end-of-summer vacation, and I wanted to share with you a great blog I found during some downtime in the last week. We’ve linked to the personal blogs of professional photographers in the past, and indeed, this whole blog thing seems to be catching on with the pros. So many photographers are writing blogs and giving great insight that you can learn from as an amatuer shooter.
I don’t think there’s a much more marquee placement in the business than the cover of Sports Illustrated, and David Bergman earned this week’s spot. That’s only one reason you should read his photo blog. The other is that he is generous in sharing a number of his different shots and he isn’t stingy with the details on how he shot them.
Bergman also gives you tons of insight on what it’s like to shoot for one of the biggest magazines in the world, so if you harbor any dreams of being a pro (or just like to live vicariously), check out his articles like this one on the kit he travels with and the burden it often proves to be. Budget it defintitely is not.
