Photographic Timing


Listen Later

Damian Strohmeyer is a Boston based photographer that’s just as comfortable photographing a Super Bowl, as he is shooting a portrait. His body of work spans from fast action sports, like The World Series, The World Cup, The Stanley Cup, The Olympics, and 27 Super Bowls, to commercial or editorial work. I have had a lot of world class photographers on this show, and Damian takes that to the next level.

Damian’s career is like a highlight reel. Throughout his over 25 years at Sports Illustrated magazine he worked on over 2,000 assignments and produced 72 covers. I thought that was a typo the first time I read it. Having 72 SI covers on its own puts you head and shoulders above your peers. It’s no wonder his work is exhibited at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Damian is a member of the exclusive Canon “Explorers of Light” program, a group that includes some of the world’s most influential photographers.

I am always fascinated by the common threads in a photographer’s portfolio, and in Damian’s case I am awe struck by his ability to capture the perfect moment. His sense of photographic timing is some of the best I have seen. While in the midst of a live, fast action moment, he has the ability to seemingly slow the moment down, and allow himself to freeze time with his camera at the perfect instant. It’s amazing. As a live music photographer I have to capture these types of fleeting moments regularly, and yet I feel like I’d miss the majority of the same moments Damian captures, were I in that situation.

On the education side of things Damian does group and individual photo lessons, along with various speaking engagements through the Explorers of Light program.

Join photographer, educator, and Canon Explorer of Light Damian Strohmeyer and me as we explore the keys to improving your photographic timing, and discuss his image of a slide into home plate during a game between Oregon State and North Carolina, on this Behind the Shot.
