Seattle Seahawks team photographer Rod Mar offers three tips for better football photography in this video short from Sports Shooter Academy VIII in Orange County, Calif. September 2011.

Rod Mar has worked as a photographer for 25 years, specializing in sports photography.
After stint at the short-lived “Inside the Seahawks,” a fan-zine where his first boss was NFL great Kenny Easley, Mar received an internship at the Seattle Times and joined the staff permanently two years later. He worked as a staffer there for nearly two decades. Now he has returned to his Seahawks roots as a team photographer.

We were gunning for nothing less than visual impact so we headed out to an old motocross track to stir up some dusty drama.

Is really the Photojournalism truthful? Behind the Scenes (PART I)

ATENTION: EXPLICIT CONTENT

Presentation of Photojournalism Behind the Scenes, an auto-critical photo essay showing the paradoxes of conflict-image production and considering the role of the photographer in the events.

This project was awarded the Photodreaming Contest organized by Forma Foundation in which I was then selected by Denis Curti, the director of Contrasto (the major photo-agency in Italy, which represents Magnum's work in the country and for which the top Italian photographers work) to shoot an assignment for the prestigious agency.

I had the opportunity to shoot Rafael Marquez in Mexico City for the FMF. He is a world class soccer player for Mexico and a great guy. We were going to shoot several shots that would need to freeze him in mid air as he kicked the ball.

We had limited time with him so it was necessary that things were planed out and ready to go when he arrived. We took two Hensel speed max heads that have the fastest flash duration of any mono block head available. The goal was to use them as our key lights and freeze his action in mid air.

We shot background plates the day before at the ruins outside of Mexico City for him to be retouched into. The idea being famous soccer players in action shots at different iconic sites of Mexico. The retouching is worth taking a look at on our Facebook page. I got Julene to talk about how she did the work. Go to www.facebook.com/theslantedlens1 to see her video. It was a great shoot and I hope you enjoy the video.

We tour WhatWasThere.com, a website that weaves historical photos through Google Street View.

by Brian Lehrer Live

The WhatWasThere project was inspired by the realization that we could leverage technology and the connections it facilitates to provide a new human experience of time and space – a virtual time machine of sorts that allows users to navigate familiar streets as they appeared in the past.

The premise is simple: provide a platform where anyone can easily upload a photograph with two straightforward tags to provide context: Location and Year. If enough people upload enough photographs in enough places, together we will weave together a photographic history of the world (or at least any place covered by Google Maps). So wherever you are in the world, take a moment to upload a photograph and contribute to history! (*)
