Moderated by Flipboard editor and former Sports Illustrated photographer <strong>Steve Fine<\/strong>, the guests consisted of professionals who have made their mark covering the Summer and Winter Olympics. Sharing their thoughts and experiences in front of a very attentive audience were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gary Hershorn<\/strong><br \/>\nFormerly Reuters, now freelancer for Getty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Al Bello<\/strong><br \/>\nCurrently freelancing for Getty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Robert Deutsch<\/strong><br \/>\nUSA Today<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Julie Jacobson<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Associated Press<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Steve started the conversation with a very timely question. Had any of the panelists ever captured the recently departed Mohammad Ali during his professional glory? Most of the photographers said \u201cno\u201d as most of them started their careers shortly after Ali retired from boxing. However, both Robert Deutsch and Al Bello were present when Ali lit the Olympic torch in Atlanta during the \u201996 summer games. And Gary Hershorn managed to take a shot of the championship boxer sitting in the audience as he watched his daughter Layla fight. However, Al did add that while watching the great \u201cThrilla\u2019 of Manila\u201d fight on TV with his dad, it became a somewhat inspirational moment that aided in his developing interest in sports.<\/p>\n<p>The panelists then recounted how long they\u2019ve been covering the Olympics, and for which outlets. The moderator himself confessed that he has covered fourteen Olympics and likens the experience to being at \u201cseventeen Superbowls in a row. What happens each day cannot be replicated. It\u2019s like a marathon but inside each marathon is like a mini-sprint.\u201d Steve then added, \u201cwe cover the games to record history but also to make iconic images.\u201d And then he asked the panelists to describe their favorite moments as well.<\/p>\n<p>Al: he has been attending the Olympics with Getty AllSport since 1993. And soon he will be entering his eleventh Olympics as a professional photographer. His favorite moment? Covering Michael Phelps in Beijing, \u201cwatching Michael Phelps destroy everyone was incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robert: he has been with USA Today for thirty-three years and will be covering his sixteenth Olympics. His favorite moment was capturing Jamaican track and field athlete Usain Bolt in London, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Julie: she has worked with the AP since 2001 and is now approaching her eighth Olympics. And her favorite moment was capturing a record-breaking pole vault jump from up in the catwalk in Athens.<\/p>\n<p>Gary will be covering his seventeenth Olympics and watching Ben Johnson winning the \u201988 Olympics was his favorite moment. This was particularly thrilling for Gary as he had been following Johnson throughout that year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22318\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-overhead.jpg\" alt=\"An overhead shot of the entire panel.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-overhead.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-overhead-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-overhead-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-overhead-825x465.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An overhead shot of the entire panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next line of questioning represented a common theme that permeated throughout the rest of the discussion. And this involved the effort that goes into preparing for the games.<\/p>\n<p>Julie Jacobson: \u201cAt the AP, they tell you in advance what you will be shooting. The last two Summer games I did gymnastics.\u201d The first thing Julie will ask is whether there will be a catwalk in the arena and whether she can set up remotes from there. Also, a lot of research goes into who is returning, who is on the public\u2019s radar and their history, background, etc. \u201cYou can make all the pretty pictures in world,\u201d Julie continued, \u201cbut if it\u2019s not of the athlete of that moment, it\u2019s not going to be that much of a picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Everyone pretty much agreed that establishing access, meeting with venue coordinators and other connected personnel will increase your chances of getting the optimum shot. When asked how much he can focus on creating pretty pictures, Robert stated, \u201cnot enough art. Too much news. You gotta\u2019 get everybody.\u201d Al seemed to offer a different sentiment but first revealed that he preps about four years before the next game. \u201cIf I know that Tokyo is next, I think about what the ceiling is going to be at the pool in Tokyo.\u201d His heart, however, is in the creative picture. \u201cIt\u2019s a constant struggle for me,\u201d he says. \u201cBecause I know what is the most important moment but I can see where the best creative moment is going to be.\u201d But he affirmed that there was a time when you could get away with that more than you can now due to how things are structured differently. Whereas Gary has seen this from many different perspectives considering he has worked as a shooter, editor and team runner. \u201cLife is about the moment. Going way back we never thought about the Olympics as an art. It was news driven.\u201d For him, it was always about getting to know the athletes. As of now, he feels his role is to supply game notes. He would come up with a cheat sheet of competitors most likely to win a medal. Maybe it wouldn\u2019t always work out the way he predicted but at least five elite competitors had a good chance of coming out on top.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel.jpg\" alt=\"PB-panel\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-panel-825x465.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Steve then offered his own observation, \u201cThere are three important factors to consider when covering an event like this: you gotta\u2019 capture the magic moment, get a sense of place and need to get tears and cheers.\u201d He pointed to Julie as an example of a photographer who seeks to achieve that interesting image from a unique vantage point. But the wire services are big on the strong reaction.<\/p>\n<p>Al: \u201cIt can\u2019t just be about what that athlete is going through or whether he\u2019s standing in front of the rings. More thought has to go into it. It\u2019s also about how the light hits this particular athlete, etc.\u201d He pointed to photographer Heinz Kluetmeier as an inspiration. \u201cI was so enamored with what he did in Barcelona and his bravado. And he just put his camera into a pool.\u201d It\u2019s that outside-of-the-box approach Al aspires to. To which Steve responded with his rule to stand by, the \u201cSix Ps.\u201d He elaborated, \u201cProper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.\u201d Al also added, \u201cplease and thank you goes a long way. Be polite. Be considerate.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22315\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22315\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Al.jpg\" alt=\"Al Bello describes his approach to preparing for an upcoming Olympic event.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Al.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Al-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Al-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Al-825x465.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al Bello describes his approach to preparing for an upcoming Olympic event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In terms of being in a position to capture that \u201cmagic moment,\u201d it might depend on the nature of the event one was assigned to cover and whether that would involve being inside or outside. Robert confessed that most of the time he has photographed <em>indoor<\/em> events as has Al. Current freelancer Gary Hershorn has never been concerned with capturing that sense of place. For him it was always about having the right gear, the longest possible lens and that \u201cpeak moment\u201d you are waiting for. Lately, he has been more interested in establishing place as a means of recoding history within an image. He cited the example of capturing time on a clock just as a basketball hits the net near the end of a game. Another factor to consider when you\u2019re approaching your subject is whether you are photographing for a monthly, weekly or daily. According to Steve, \u201cweekly mags and daily newspapers might take a different approach than monthlies.\u201d But Julie has her own belief that might simplify the process a bit. \u201cYou\u2019re not always able to get up close to a person\u2019s face so I focus on the body language.\u201d She says, \u201clike getting that athlete all by himself among a sea of empty hurdles. Someone could break a world record in a preliminary heat\u2026 always keep your guard up, always look for that shot no matter what the event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the panelists agreed with Julie\u2019s sentiments. Al offered, \u201creaction happens in front of you all the time. You can\u2019t avoid it.\u201d And everyone pressed the importance of going to preliminaries, rehearsals, and practices. This allows multiple opportunities to anticipate when a swimmer may appear out of the water or when another athlete may throw his or her javelin. Al affirmed, \u201cIf you don\u2019t watch the practice you\u2019re behind the Eight Ball for sure.<\/p>\n<p>But what about those moments taking you out of your comfort zone? Where, after spending a lifetime covering field and track, you suddenly find yourself assigned to, say, an archery event? Or you\u2019re suddenly dropped into an unfamiliar venue?<\/p>\n<p>Julie Jacobson: \u201cYou\u2019re always looking up the rules of the sport (to see) how it\u2019s done.\u201d She explained how she had to study up on curling, watched everything she could. Even questioned \u201cthe guy who would make the ice.\u201d By the end of that Olympics, she had become an expert on curling. Gary noted that a lot of the more obscure events are covered more so now than they were back in the day because the Internet and modern day media has made it possible to cover everything. He brought up an interesting anecdote regarding the Pan American games he attended last year. It was his first time photographing something that wasn\u2019t involved in just track and swimming. \u201cI never realized how hard it was to photograph volleyball!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22316\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22316\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Gary.jpg\" alt=\"Gary Hershorn (middle) offers his thoughts on the current state of sports photography.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Gary.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Gary-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Gary-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Gary-825x465.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Hershorn (middle) offers his thoughts on the current state of sports photography.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Robert then offered, \u201cIn theory, you\u2019ll have people there who know everything there is to that sport. And then you have people who show up and have no clue. And sometimes they take the more impressive shot.\u201d As an example, Robert tells a story about when he was photographing a pole vault jumping event. He was waiting for that perfect shot until, \u201canother guy from Chicago just comes up there. He\u2019s yakking away, kind of distracting me and making me nervous. Suddenly he picks up his camera and takes a shot of the pole vaulter breaking his pole in half, then puts down the camera and continues talking to me. And I\u2019m standing there having not shot a frame of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve questioned whether the efforts involved to report on the Olympics has changed all that much. Gary responded with a simple answer, \u201cthe difference is technology. We shot with film. Now we\u2019re working with wired networks. Everyone is connected to an ethernet cable.\u201d Robert agreed, \u201cwe once dragged a Japanese cell phone up on a mountain for the downhill ski race. And we were able to drag an editor with a laptop up there. And we beat everybody by 24 hours.\u201d Al remembered, \u201cone roll of film used to be twenty-four exposures. You had to make it count. Now you shoot four billion frames and you can shoot a movie so obviously, you\u2019re going to get something.\u201d Gary continued, \u201cyou can have a person sitting literally anywhere in the world in an office controlling the camera with a joystick somewhere.\u201d Not only that, now you have to be an IT technician, a network technician as well as a photographer, which has added a new layer of stress to the role.<\/p>\n<p>The panelists then went on to a different track, this time lamenting the shots they missed, those great, iconic moments that got away.<\/p>\n<p>Al recalled the time he was attempting a slow shutter shot of Mike Powell (who broke the high jump record in 1996). Suddenly, Powell dived into the ground right in front of him and Al didn\u2019t have time to adjust his settings. That moment has haunted him ever since. Well, that is up until the 2008 games where he was able to capture a similar image with a different athlete. Robert on the other hand also attempted an \u201cartsy\u201d shot of an all female leg race. It was at that moment the athlete Suzy Hamilton fell right in front of <em>him<\/em>. \u201cWhat are the odds,\u201d Robert exclaimed. \u201cThen Suzy Hamilton falls right in front of you \u2013 crash and burn \u2013 and I\u2019m shooting at a fifteenth of a second!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Julie had a slightly more distressing tale to tell. \u201cVancouver Olympics. Three games of hockey a day. It\u2019s the gold medal game.\u201d She continues, \u201cI\u2019m up in the overhead position. To my right is the TV camera area. There was a guy standing up there eating his French fries. He wasn\u2019t bugging anybody so I didn\u2019t say anything. The game was tied\u2026 So I\u2019m following the action, Sidney Crosby gets the puck and, you know, he\u2019s going for the goal. I\u2019m on him and on him and all of a sudden the guy standing there eating his French fries throws up his arms to cheer and he bashes this arm,\u201d Julie waves her left arm, \u201cright into my camera lens and bashed it against my face! So I missed that winning shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22317\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22317\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Julie-laugh.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Fine (far left) and Gary Hershorn share a laugh as Julie Jacobson recollects a humorous anecdote.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Julie-laugh.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Julie-laugh-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Julie-laugh-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.mom\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/PB-Julie-laugh-825x465.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Fine (far left) and Gary Hershorn share a laugh as Julie Jacobson recollects a humorous anecdote.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gary, on the other hand, cited not one, but two big fails. \u201cMichael Johnson winning the 200 meters. Record time. And my camera was out of focus. I botched it from start to finish.\u201d Gary then mentioned another mishap where he was focused on the wrong athlete. That the athlete he was convinced wouldn\u2019t win\u2026 did.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the floor was opened up for further questions. The one that seemed to resonate the most was \u201chow do you get your start in sports photography?\u201d The panelist seemed to be all on the same page with this. Simply, start small. Cover small sporting events, little league, game players in parks and so on. Then build from there. But they each did offer this sobering thought: there\u2019s less money out there for mainstream publications to pay and almost none with online media. Closing out, moderator Steve Fine had this to say:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn staff photographers have dwindled. With that, what has disappeared is this sense of teamwork. Eleven photographers would work together, on staff, to the point where the competition was inside the camera and not with whoever was standing next to you. I fear that going forward, only wire services will be providing the images and there will be fewer on staff photographers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, Adorama hosted yet another panel discussion presented by the photo industry blog, the Photo Brigade.
