- Have you ever wanted to photograph professional athletes on one of the biggest stages in world sports? Now is your chance, as US Open tennis comes to New York City from August 27 to September 9.
This video will tell you everything you need to know about photographing the tournament, even without a media credential, and even without having to buy a ticket. Tennis is perhaps the most accessible sport for photography, because you can get right up close-in many cases, just as close as the tournament photographers can. Learn tips about how to photograph this fast-paced game, about choice of gear, timing the action, great photography spots on the US Open grounds and the best times of day to be there, how to control the messy background of a tournament atmosphere, and more.
Presenter Chris Nicholson will show images from his 20-plus years of photographing professional tennis, and will discuss topics from his 2012 book, “Photographing Tennis: A Guide for Photographers, Parents, Coaches & Fans”

I don't shoot tennis or planning to shoot, but it's always interesting to listen pro photographers talking about their craft
This might be one of my favorite things I’ve ever watched on UA-cam. What an amazing class. Thank you.
Wow! Probably the most informative video for this very specific purpose. I feel privileged to have stumbled across this gem.
Great photography and very detailed info on this sport!
This is a great video. I watched the earlier version ... I learned a lot and was inspired to purchase Chris' book. But there is one major topic missing from the books and videos: photographing non-professional tennis. Let's face it, that's what 99.99% of tennis photographers do. Let's discuss shooting through fences. Best angles when you are shooting middle court with other games going on. Different approaches for younger/beginner players .... I could go on ... but you get the idea. The core ideas in this video are tremendous and applicable across the board-- and the same with the book. But not everyone, and on a percentage basis, hardly anyone shoots at the top-tier events. Love to see something for the 99percenters!
yeah its really funny how pro sports seems like you gotta be a pro to shoot but the truth is its actually easier.. you gotta be a pro to shoot high school.. and you need more expensive equipment too because its usually darker.. but the pay is nothing..
Love the video! Agree w you as well. I'd also like to know how to price/package your offers for different levels of sporting events/tournaments.
Awesome details about shooting tennis. 👌
Pay attention,Chris knows what he’s talking about.
Sony uses Phase Detection also.
Great vid. :)
Goodness!! Great video, but that awful mid day lighting would drive me nuts to have to deal with that. But hey, if it pays that’s what counts! And it does seem like an exciting sport to shoot.
If you use a "medial support cane" you can obtain a, screw mount to round tube clamp, and then turn your cane into a "monopod." 🤪
