Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Plan coverage with editors or clients, including the match schedule, the teams and players, and the key moments to capture.
Scout venues and arrange accreditation or media passes for the event.
Shoot with long telephoto lenses, using fast autofocus and burst modes to freeze action.
Adjust exposure and white balance for floodlit stadiums and changing light.
Select, edit and colour-correct images quickly, sometimes from the stadium or on a laptop.
Add captions and metadata with player and match details, then send images to editors or clients on time.
If freelancing, build your portfolio and manage invoices, usage rights and client relationships.
