Paul Rutherford Photography

Love using grids to highlight what I want and make the background a little more interesting. It also helps keep the background dark to cut the subject out of the frame.

Love mixing continuous light with flash to get different images during media day.

Don’t limit yourself to one spot. Find them all.

This is not for the faint of heart and you can damage you sensor. So if you try, try carefully.

Bring a towel to wipe down the camera after, but it’s worth the dirt for the shot!

On the ice for this one! Hockey portrait photography makes it easy to move the gear around!

Sports portrait of local fencers. Never shot fencing before so I learned a few new terms and had fun seeing what works.

Sometimes it works and sometimes the ref gets ya.

Behind the scenes at an indoor track meet.

Not much time during media means getting the shot in one take.

Remote cameras capturing sports photos from locations I can’t.

Hold and swipe. Apparently it doesn’t work for everyone.
