A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

So i’m a relatively amateur photographer and right now I’m starting to build my portfolio by an instagram account. The account is @lasatsuei if anyone’s interested I would appreciate a critique on what I have so far.

Honestly, it’s one of my dreams to capture an NBA game. At least one game in my lifetime, and I really want to know if anyone here knows how to achieve that.

I was also wondering when building my portfolio if I have to stick to strictly sports photography, or can I include other things in there that I love photographing like architecture, people, etc.?

Hi, full time sports photographer here and former photojournalist. The only way you're shooting anything above d2 ball is with a media credential and a reason to be there. If it's your dream go for it. It was my dream to shoot the Red Sox and.. yeah, never did that, but I did get into Gillette at one point. So go for it, put in the 20,000 hours. If you really want it bad.
