Sports images are very successful on the competition circuit & there’s no surprise why - they almost guarantee an image with impact. But it’s often difficult to capture powerful sports shots during competitions, there’s just too much going on in the background, so David has developed a mobile studio approach to capture the more iconic poses. 

In this talk he’ll share his approach to gaining access, technical challenges on the day and the equipment he uses.
