What I love about Jean and her videos is how she shares her deep experience and knowledge but never talks down to you. Her style is very inclusive and invites you in. I am guilty of keeping way too many photos and am working on deleting photos I'm not going to use, it can be an internal battle. haha. It was very helpful to hear Jean talk about how she will take a group of photos from a specific scene and then choose one based on specific things she sees in the photo. Another great episode Jean! Thank you B&H for having Jean make this series, super helpful!
I’ve been shooting youth lacrosse for 10+ years and learned much from your series. Especially appreciate the variety you shoot and your attention to lighting and composition. There is so much joy and enthusiasm in youth and grassroots sports. You do an amazing job capturing it! Thanks for sharing your process.
Thrilling. Grassroots sports is the best place to learn photography. Jean is a wonderful teacher. She doesn't talk down but relates to us the way she interacts with the players, with an honest and friendly vibe. From '66 to '76 I learned so much from shooting grassroots sports (distance running, gymnastics, swimming, soccer, martial arts). Examples: (1) how to be relaxed and natural while taking portraits, (2) sharpness begins at 1/500 and gets better at 1/1250; (3) great photos don't only live at Dodger Stadium. Though I had covers and shot big events, what I loved is what I'm doing now: taking pictures at an exceptionally wonderful K-12 school, in a lovely community food garden, and doing utility photography wherever it's needed. Young people, think about it - you can learn everything at the grassroots that you'll ever need as a pro - especially as evidenced by Jean Fruth: the skills of energy, concentration, intuition, getting self out of the way, and shooting from the heart. I'm not gushing; that's what's real.
It is so hard to edit ruthlessly right away while the experience and memories are fresh. I can edit down a burst, but those stand alone images are hard to delete because there is only the one. A month later I will be much more willing to toss those imperfect images. That is when the photo editor kicks in.
Thanks, Jean. Loved the whole series. Love your editing process. I know I can hang on to too many. I was thinking of you Saturday as I shot some 10U baseball. I kept looking at the background -- chain link fence, which was split the kids head. UGH!

Jean, I love your videos. Learning not only about your style, but the story of women's baseball in the Dominica, thank you.

Great video. GREAT GEAR. Thank you for hosting this event.
Your images are flawless and expressive. Always so sharp. Thanks for sharing.
Anything with Jean in it I’m here for it all!
This series by Jean has really helped reinforce many aspects of photographing and then selecting your images to make the best impact for your client.
Glad this series help you!
So good to see the whole process and be able to improve my own from it... thank you!
Thanks for watching!
You’re so awesome! I’ve learned so much from you. I’m Geri a bunch of positive feedback from the parents in my son’s team.
This was a wonderful series! Kudos to Jean and B&H!

I think her definition of “edit” in photography is different than mine. I need to learn more about this. 😄
Jean is a GEM. Love this type of video.
Great video as usual Jean!!! Thank you for the information!!! Need a little longer video LOL🤣
Maybe we’ll do more with Jean! Thanks for watching.
Very interesting video Thank you for sharing and demonstration

I have greatly enjoyed this series! Thanks for inspiring me. -Patrick from Tucson
Thanks for watching the series! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, Jean! It’s easy to focus on the technical aspects of photography but learning how to “see” the action is often overlooked.
Are you using photo mechanic or some other fast sort software prior to final edits. Great video seres!!
Jean is using Adobe Bridge in this video. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful advice
That’s what Jean gives!
Great tips! Thanks for the inside look!
Thanks for watching!
Loved it, great content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
120fps is an overkill. Great job on the images though.
Good , thank you for vídeo
Did anyone catch the name of the software she is using to cull? Doesn’t look like photo mechanic.
Adobe Bridge
👍👍👍
I thought that all the cool kids shot raw!
yes we do 😎
if yo need to burst that much you need to re learn your craft.
All you can do is anticipate the action in baseball, Jean can't see the future
120fps is wild but it’s the difference in nailing action vs missing out. Loved the series Jean, outstanding!
Glad you enjoyed the series!
I would say 30fps is more than enough
