I Got A Job!

[Hof8231]

Not quite a NFL sideline photographer yet but hey, it's a start lol. I'm working as photographer for the Trenton Freedom, an expansion Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL) team based out of Trenton, NJ...which is very convenient as I live in Philly. My main responsibility is going to be action shots for the websites/media guides/programs/etc., but over the course of the tryouts they also had me taking shots of every tryout participant with their bib number, some shots of the area, along with other general things. It's been a great experience so far and I'm so beyond excited!

I've also been working and talking a lot with the broadcasting school that's taking care of all the broadcasting/video duties. I'm learning a hell of a lot already.

Here are some of my photos from the most recent tryout:

Good for you, looking forward to seeing some of the game action. The bonus of shooting indoors is that you can cover more area with one lens. Have fun.
