Softball photo lessons
Shoot your kid the way a pro photographer would. Short lessons for every softball 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: the side your batter faces
A batter faces one side of the field. Stand on that side and you get their face, not the back of a helmet.
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: the ball on the bat
The swing, the slide, the throw, the diving catch. Baseball is slow until it isn’t, so be ready before the pitch.
05Celebration: home plate and the dugout
The run home, the high-fives at the plate, the dugout on its feet, the pile at the mound. You know where every one happens.
06Portrait: a media-day hero in 90 seconds
Full uniform, plain background, chest height. This is the one that gets printed.
07Details: the glove, the dirt, the cap
The glove’s pocket, cleats in the dirt, the cap, the bat grip, the scoreboard. These are the frames you’ll keep longest.
08Rituals: warm-up catch and the dugout
The car ride, warm-up catch, the dugout between innings, the snack after. Baseball is full of waiting, and the waiting is the childhood.
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.
