I'm the self pro-claimed non-paid photographer for our local high school football team and your videos really help me. Football season is right around the corner, and your ideas and technical knowledge is certainly helping me. Thank u for uploading your videos!! Edit: I simply enjoy being down on the sidelines with the team and try to get them something they can take with them.........it's simply fun and challenging for me, and, the parents really like the pics. Win win for everybody. Thanks again for helping us wanna bees!!!
That's awesome! There's a ton of value in that and I'm sure the community loves the pics. Glad it's helpful and thanks so much for watching.
I found this VERY informative and motivating. I work with a soccer team all season; I loved the part about shooting the same thing each game and making things look different. Thank you for sharing!!
I was the staff photographer for a Prospect League team this year and all those sleep deprived nights (while also keeping up with a graduate internship) really solidified for me that baseball is where I want to be. Your videos and your advice are so helpful! I’ll be applying for every internship I can once those applications roll out.
Thanks bro just subbed love the content
Thank you for answering these questions. Some were ones I had not thought of but were very thought provoking and inspiring. Have a great week!
Thanks Mark, appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Always brilliant video
I appreciate this video so much Billie!
Thanks Danny!
Yeah, you tell great stories! As a Red Sox fan, we love the stories that you tell both on and off the field.
Thanks as always, Joe!
...my son started a neighborhood summer basketball league...non-profit...he is in his 5th yr and just this season became a part of the town rec...I have been his league photographer for the last three...so I can so relate to the frustration and monotony of trying to capture different moments...Thank you for sharing your experiences and expertise and I look forward to learning more. 😊
That's awesome, what a great story! And yes, it can be tough to find different moments in the monotony. Hope you are able to stay fresh! Thanks for stopping by.
This video couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful. Thank you!
Hey Billie, very inspiring channel I reflect once again on my own work. Thanks very much.
How do you handle the photos for the players. Do they have full access to it, are there any rules that players have to observe?
Nice job Billie. Informative and entertaining.
Thanks Alex, appreciate it.
Thank you for share your stories, you’ve inspired me to start sport photography here in Italy!!
That's awesome! You should go for it!
Awesome info Sir, just wanted to ask what would be a good lens to start with for sport photography? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing Billie!
My pleasure!!
BILLIE-- WOW! Awesome video! A very positive response to all the the questions you receive from your fans! Take Good care of yourself, Billie. Randy Bocksnick(Montana)
Thanks very much, Randy! Awesome of you to check in from Montana.
Great video! Thanks for sharing so many details. I will be sharing this with young people for years to come.
If you ever take a Cleveland road trip, lunch is on me. (Don't worry, I don't want a job! The variety thing you touched on is why I love the journalism side and also why I want to keep it part time.)
Ha! I appreciate that! Hopefully the traveling will start up again soon.
Very well done thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Billie another great video, I started photographing my team,
They are amateur soccer teams aged from 5-18 we have 33 teams in total 5 girl teams 2 mixed with disabilities and the rest are boys keeps myself really busy.
But I can relate with you regarding repetitive photos because I can feel myself questioning myself and always trying something different it keeps the interest with all the teams plus they look forward to seeing the photos coming out.
Thanks for your videos they are so informative and I can relate to them in a small way 👍
I hear you - it's tough to find something truly different! Have to look really hard, especially for those in between moments. Glad it was helpful, thanks a lot.
Hey Billie! I'm a little late to this one! I think I've commented before about landing my internship with the Indians this season and now that we're half way through the season it has really solidified to me that I want to make my career in baseball, and also that I want to work for a team rather than MLB or a newspaper. Just like you talked about, I love being able to develop those relationships with our staff and players. I was wondering how long it took you to get your job with the Red Sox after you finished interning with the Orioles? If it wasn't right away what did you do in the time in between? And in today's job market do you think after one season interning it is okay to start applying for team photographer roles or does it seem like most young photographers need to do multiple internships around the league before taking that next step up?
Great video mate. Thank you.
Thanks very much, Sean!
Awesome! How can someone start taking sport photos, what school, equipment to start building a portfolio?
Thank you for sharing!
Of course! Thanks for watching!
great video!
Great! What goes on when you aren’t actually taking photographs? Do you work in an office environment? (Maybe to edit and organize images) Is it in the stadium? Like a 9-5?
Great video, can you disclose what is the average salary for a team photographer?
Hey Billie, thanks for the advice. Are you also in charge of the photography team for the AAA Woo Sox? I got to chat with one of their photograpghers this year and she was a good ambassador for the profession and the team.
I would like to know what lens do you use most?
Thanks for the insight! How much of you job is taking the pictures you want to take (creative, fun pictures with your style) and how much is taking pictures of things someone just needs a picture of (the more „boring“, generic pictures.) Hope that makes sense.
Yes, a great question. I would say about 65% is the bread and butter basics - things you have to get. Then the other 35% is truly creative. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Hi Billie,
Just want to say, been following your channel for a while now, even though
baseball is not for a sport we follow here in the UK.
Your channel is very informative and I enjoy watching your videos. Really enjoyed this Q and A session
and hope you do more of them.
By the way I photograph amateur football (soccer to you guys).
Keep up the good work

Another great video, Billie! So happy your subscriber numbers keep growing. You are the reason why! Great content and creativity as you explain so many aspects of sports photography. Saw you photographing tonight when the Sox honored Pedroia. Your photos and videos are truly inspiring and helpful no matter what you photograph. Many thanks!
Thanks so much Sarah! Appreciate the kind words and following along. All the best.
Thanks very much for the kind words, Alan. Glad to hear it's helpful for you! Football is fun to shoot!
Hi Billie - a fascinating video with some really interesting insights. I've got a question for you - do you ever talk to team photographers from other sports both in the US and worldwide?
All the time! Making a network is the most important thing we can do. We all look out for each other.
one day i wish to be like you Billie!!!
Ha, be careful what you wish for! Thanks for watching.
When jobs are posted where are they posted, and is there a specific name or description we should be looking for.
Nice, interesting and very informative video :-)
Many thanks!
Do you shoot in RAW or JPG?
Hey Billie, how much do sports photographers make?
Are you the one that’s gonna be hosting a NPS on the PODs you guys are using this season? I when I was on a NPS zoom they mentioned one coming up.
I hope we are able to do something like that in the future, yes!
I guess since Im a New York Yankee fan I cant get a job with you?...its okay because you have some great tips.
I won't hold that against you!
Awesome Video - Thanks Billie
You’re welcome 😊
How do you get started?
Is it possible if you don't have thousands of dollars in equipment?
How do you get paid? (not how much)
Can you use the photos in your portfolio and for advertising on your personal social media?
Does the team tag you when they use your photos?
Sorry...
On any given game how much of your time is spent photographing the game and how much is say corporate, PR etc. Also if travelling with the team come to Toronto.
Good question. I would say about 35% is game related photography, and the rest is corporate, events, portraits, PR etc. There is a lot more to the job than just sports photography :)
Where are the new videos!!!??
Thank you for this post. From a YANKEE fan and photographer lol.
So who owns the camera gear?
👍 cool. Do u have any internships available now ???
Not at this time unfortunately!
