Once you start getting serious about photography, and particularly once you start accepting paid jobs, you simply cannot rely on just one camera body. I’ll also be putting together my suggestions for a starter kit that can be put together with a budget of roughly $1500.

Over the following series of blog posts I’ll talk through my current kit, which is by no means a budget set-up and has been funded through my work as a photographer. The additions to bring it up to my current kit are incremental, and are mainly centred around convenience and slight improvements in image quality. Since then, I’ve grown as a photographer, and my kit has evolved a bit along with me.

I touched on some of my triathlon photography kit about a year ago in my post about How to Photograph Triathlons. The most important part of your kit is the photographer behind the camera, but there is also a reality to sports photography….it is demanding on gear, and you need to make sensible decisions around gear acquisition. Obsessing over camera gear is an expensive pitfall that many newer photographers can fall into. The event went really well, and you can read more about it here. I was grateful that the Northern Beaches Council engaged me to put together a team of photographers and videographers to cover the event and prove to other organisers that events could go ahead in a COVID-safe fashion.

Here’s my Year in Review 2021!įebruary of 2021 saw Sydney beginning to awaken from the COVID slumber as events began to come back online. I look back at the year that was with a sense of gratitude and achievement. I experienced some career highlights ( including delivering my biggest project to-date) and all-the-while continued to grow Freshie Photography. Despite a highly disrupted year, including 107 days straight of lockdown, I was fortunate to be able to shoot over 15 events and work with some amazing corporate and private clients. I’ve given up trying to predict what will happen, and now just take it for what it is. What an unforgettable year of ups and downs. We put a big emphasis on getting the shots as close to correct in camera as possible, so minimal editing is required, usually just a bit of exposure adjustment.Īround 2 hours after the event finished, the Council marketing team have received ~150 final photos and my work is essentially done.Ģ021. That final cull got me down to about 150 photos, which I dragged into Lightroom. From there I do a second round of culling, where each photo is asked “do you meet the marketing brief?”. My first cull in Photomechanic (I’ll touch on Photomechanic in another blog post) removes any where the composition just isn’t right, or focus has been missed. Important lesson here: we really work on not overshooting, we always shoot with a purpose! The client doesn’t need hundreds of photos for their brief, and I don’t need to be culling thousands of photos. Between the photographers, we’ve ended up with about a thousand photos. The photos below give a brief snapshot of our day out on course shooting Coastrek Sydney for Wild Women on Top.Īfter a coffee and a bit of food, I get back to the bulk of the photo work. I've even been known to get a bit misty-eyed at the finish line, when you come to recognise how much of a personal achievement it is for some of these teams to complete the event, and how much it means to them. We are there to see them off into the darkness at 6 am in the morning, and we are there to capture them crossing the finish line late into the evening. It is an event where even as photographers, we feel invested in the participants. There are no "winners", it is not a race and it is not a competition, but the support that every trekker gets along the way is simply amazing. The emotions that start to flow at the finish line as the sun goes down is incomparable to anything else we shoot. It is a massive day requiring around 18 hours of shooting, but there is just something magical about the vibe around the event. In doing so, the trekkers raised over $2 million for Beyond Blue.Ĭoastrek is my favourite event of the year. On Friday the 25th of March, the Freshie Photography team shot Coastrek Sydney, which saw some 4500 trekkers taking on the 60km, 45km, or 30km routes stretching from La Perouse to the finish line at Kirribilli.
