The instructors will be AHP members Scott Serio and Alex Evers, the Founder and Assistant Managing Editor respectively, of Eclipse Sportswire.
During the course of the three-day workshop, participants will begin with the basics, learning how to strategize and scout images. You will shoot morning workouts, set up remotes and photograph afternoon racing. Participants will be exposed to existing racing images through daily classroom instruction and will learn to understand the forethought that went into creating them. Coursework will also cover ethics, rules, customs, and safety regarding racing photography. Safety of the horse is always the primary concern. Additionally, there will be multiple live editing and critique sessions where attendees will display their pictures and, as a group, work through the entire post-production process.
Eclipse Sportswire is the official photographer for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and routinely has images published throughout the industry and mainstream media. Publications include Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Evers has received an honorable mention for the last two years in the Eclipse Awards Media Division for Photography. Serio received an honorable mention in 2016 and won the Eclipse Award for an image of American Pharoah in 2015.
Canon Professional Services will be part of the workshop and will provide attendees an opportunity to use and sample a variety of high-end gear during the workshop.
