- I was able to attend the NV5 Invite in Glenview, IL for a Korn Ferry Tour event. This video provides a first person point-of-view into how to be a photographer at a golf tournament. Also, we run into some friends along the way.

Comment your favorite photo and let me know if you'd like to see more of these!
I loved the content! Thanks for giving us an in depth look into your work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great work!
Thank you!
I did enjoy your video. I am going to shoot my first golf outing. I get the foreground and bzckgrounds. Shooting with depth with objects.. but the camera setting....i get vary...but doesn't seem like you are shooting in M....i am thinking AP mode.
I enjoyed seeing your process.
Thank you. I hope you will answer my question. I did watch the whole video.
For golf events if you were to bring one more lens would you go wider (~28-70mm) or longer (~200-600mm w/mono or tripod). Did you feel you missed any shots with the 70-180?
It’s all I had budget for at the time haha, but very versatile for golf due to the vastness of the setting for landscapes and positioning yourself in the right place for action/portraits. I just got a 150-600 so excited to try it out and get those nice close ones. 24-70 would be great for scenics but tough for capturing the action. Next time I go out I’ll be using 150-600 and 70-180 to cover me in almost all situations.
@@fromthetipsgolf I own the same Tamron and will be doing my first tournament shoot in June. Was thinking I’d bring another lens but don’t want to bring the “kitchen sink”. Thanks for the video! I took notes, very helpful.
@@ToddNormanE best of luck!
Do you ever have issues with rolling shutter or anything in with the Sony in silent mode
I have noticed items elongate in the silent mode. Examples would be golf club at high swing speeds or capturing a baseball as it is hit off the bat. Would go mechanical if the situation allows it.
What shutter speed did you shoot at?
Normally over 1/2000 at minimum to get club still in shot. I prefer to underexpose as well because editing software can bring back shadows. I’l adjust depending on light as well.
When trying to get into shooting tournaments such as this, may I ask who to reach out to throughout the hiring process?
Hey Nathan, I reached out to the PR/Communications team for the opportunity. Our podcast interviewed several players in the field and I shot photography free of charge to give the event more exposure. In my experience, most smaller events are accommodating to get a photo pass if you ask. Great practice and nice portfolio builder.
@@fromthetipsgolf Thanks for your response Ryan! I understand free work to build a portfolio, but how would you make this a full time gig? Any pointers?
Great video Ryan I am in UK doing what you do and love it. Some excellent tips on shooting different angles, half body, full body etc
I've "cold called" via Instagram DMs before, email as well. Also, utilizing your network for opportunities is a great way to try and secure some projects. I've been with an ad agency primarily focused on social media management but love to content create for the channels. Keep working on your craft and don't stop reaching out to folks!

Thanks! Would love to see your work sometime! I shot a lot of verticals as you can see because my work is social media focused. Best of luck with everything!@@clivedowning4200
