Lacrosse photo lessons
Shoot your kid the way a pro photographer would. Short lessons for every lacrosse game, each with photo steps and one pro tip.
Three habits that change every photo you take this season.
01Set the phone like a pro photographer
Burst on, grid on, exposure locked, Full Quality when you add them. Two minutes, once, and every game is easier.
02Where to stand: level with the goal they attack
Most lacrosse happens around the goal. Stand level with it, on the side your kid attacks.
03Get low. Then get lower.
Most photos at a game are taken standing up. Kneel or sit low, and your kid becomes the hero.
One lesson for each kind of photo on your season shot list.
04Action: stick, ball, face
The cradle, the shot, the check, the ground ball, the face-off. Keep the stick head and the ball in the frame.
05Celebration: stick up, team in
The stick raised, the run to teammates, helmets knocking. Keep shooting after the goal.
06Portrait: a media-day hero in 90 seconds
Full uniform, plain background, chest height. This is the one that gets printed.
07Details: the stick, the gloves, the helmet
The stick’s pocket, the gloves, the helmet with its number, cleats in the grass, the scoreboard.
08Rituals: passing lines and the team talk
The car ride, the warm-up lines, the half-time talk, the snack after.
09Together: teammates, coaches, family
The handshake line, the coach’s word, siblings watching. The people around them are part of the story.
10Tough 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.
11The interview: same questions, one season apart
Five short questions on video in week one, and the same five at the end of the season. Two videos, one season apart.
12Club camera: keep the Trace or Veo moments
Your club’s camera catches what you can’t. Save a clip, then add it here. It stays when the club’s plan ends.
