 From the Super Bowl to T-ball at the local park, people are watching, playing and photographing sports more than ever before -- and publications are devoting more space to sports photography as well. So what's the secret to doing it right? Professional sports photographers are trained to look for the peak action or reaction. When this is combined with a storytelling moment, the photo becomes the cover of the magazine.

 In my last post, I pointed out that before clients place an assignment, they often gather information about photographers with a search on Google. For most photographers, that shouldn't turn up anything worse than their Web site, a reference on someone's blog and a bunch of attributions. (Hopefully, there will be plenty of those.)
But for others, it could be a bitter fight on a forum with a rival photographer, a mention of a driving offense committed 20 years ago, or even deliberate attacks from an ex-spouse, former partner or a scooped rival photographer. Whether true or not, there may be things on the Internet that you'd prefer prospective clients don't see. Fortunately, you can take steps to build a better image online.

 Today's photographers put a huge amount of effort into creating and displaying their portfolios. Whereas once the sole challenge was to build a collection of outstanding images, today there's the added need to showcase these images on beautifully designed Web sites, often with slideshows and accompanied by descriptive text.
That's understandable. If Black Star tells a client that we've got a photographer who would be perfect for a job, we expect that the first thing the client will do is check that photographer's Web site.
And we wouldn't be surprised if the second thing the client does is Google the photographer's name.

 Today the Black Star Photoblog features its first contributions from Henning Christoph [pictured]. Fittingly, they are set in Africa, a continent that has fascinated Christoph for nearly four decades.
