An interview with a Photographer who has more Sports Illustrated covers than me : RAWtalk 122

This week I sat down with former Sports Illustrated staff photographer Al Tielemans. I first met Al when I was 17 or 18 where we shot together in the dugout of Veteran stadium for a Phillies game. I invited Al in because he is one of the best sports photographers of our time and I know he would be able to shed some light on the industry for us all. If there is one thing I took out of this interview it’s a statement that Al made about “practice”. He mentioned during his off days form assignments he would go out and shoot to keep his skills tight. You can not become a better photographer if you don’t get out there and shoot. Do you want to win some of the $200,000 in prizes that RODE is giving away during its second MyRodeReel.com compettion? That’s right the contest is back and this time bigger than ever. In all honesty there is no reason not to at least try and enter this contrast. It is FREE to enter and you never know what will happen, maybe your video is the feather that tickles somebody’s fancy. Be sure to check out MyRodeReel.com for contest rules. http://www.rode.com/?utm_source=FroKnowsPhoto&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=FroKnowsPhoto Stephen hits us with photo news including a discussion about the just announced Nikon D7200.
