SIDELINE SCHOOL
Tough moments: private by default
The loss, the consoling arm, the walk back. These are the spine of the season, and they stay in your private gallery unless you choose to share them.
How to shoot it
- Step 1
Take the picture. Don’t share it.
Your private gallery is the place for these. Stand further back than usual so they keep their dignity. A face turned into a shoulder says more than tears to the camera.
- Step 2
The walk back is the frame
After the game, after the handshake line, the walk to the car. Shoulders, a coach’s arm, a sibling waiting at the gate. You’ll be glad you have it, and glad nobody else saw it that week.
Pro tip
Private by default. This one is for the family, and it’s the spine of the season.
