    Spot on Jean, being a studio photographer Your first tip makes all the difference. Took the focus factor off my mind and allows me to create

  2. @mmkline1989 on October 29, 2024 at 9:03 pm

    Great tips. I shoot high school football, and being prepared for the celebration is one of the hardest parts on a crowded sideline. I also learned quickly not to dwell on the missed shots, that way lies madness!

    Always great listening to Jean!!! The master๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

  5. @francistheriault5622 on October 29, 2024 at 9:06 pm

    Nice video. What do you recommend for team pictures with lots of people in low light? Lens and settings?

  6. @laurab5495 on October 29, 2024 at 9:06 pm

    Amazing shots! Great tips, super helpful for the novice…thanks for this video!

  7. @rayg3354 on October 29, 2024 at 9:07 pm

    Whatโ€™s the tip for getting into the photographerโ€™s well?

    She is carrying at least $30k+ worth of equipment! Lol

  12. @apvgroup5i on October 29, 2024 at 9:24 pm

    Here’s a tip….
    Be very rich or work for a media company and have amazing contacts ๐Ÿ˜œ
    Nothing worse than influencers coming on here using 20k lenses and flagship bodies.

  13. @brucebrodersen4504 on October 29, 2024 at 9:24 pm

    These five tips are simple yet essential in explaining both the mechanical and mental prep work that goes into creating beautiful sports imagery. These are worthy not just on a professional level, but for all photographers. Jean’s work is amongst the best and I can’t thank her enough for sharing!

  17. @emmanuellehuu8818 on October 29, 2024 at 9:32 pm

    That was the best video on this subject by far, and the shortest, straight to the point. I wish people didn’t do "content" and have long videos just to explain vaguely everything everybody already knows…

  18. @adamliebmusic on October 29, 2024 at 9:32 pm

    Jean’s images are consistently gorgeous and none more so then those shots bathed in natural light. These short TIPS videos always give me something new to try and meaningful ways to improve my own images. Thank you!

  27. @ajr5062 on October 29, 2024 at 9:55 pm

    I recently started going into sports photography, and watching this video not only taught me the 5 tips from Jean but also through her imagery with regards to composition and those โ€˜momentsโ€™ that are not to miss when taking pictures. Great video! โค๏ธ

  28. @stubones on October 29, 2024 at 9:55 pm

    Wow this is awesome

  31. @matthewrolon on October 29, 2024 at 9:57 pm

  32. @threemusketeers2770 on October 29, 2024 at 9:58 pm
