I recently got the chance to do photography for my love pro wrestling company and loved it!
i have a very basic Nikon DSLR and 50-300mm lens. I think i did pretty well for my first time photographing this sort of thing, and the first time picking up my camera in 10 years.
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience or tips on how to produce better images for the performers i am photographing.
Cheers
Lighting at venues will always be tough. That’s always the fun part.
Ringside I like 24-70 2.8 and you can toss in a 70-200 as well if needed. If you have a slower lens, always bump up the iso. I’d rather have a frozen shot with noise than a cleaner shot with motion blur.
The point of impact is not usually the best shot. When I shoot sports thats what I am going for, but with wrestling, its usually right after. The facial expression, the hair going everywhere.
Any specific questions, feel free to ask away.
OP, if there’s one person to listen to, it’s Ryan and this comment.
