people/gallery
When photographing very important people (VIPs), it is indispensable to rely on years of technical skills, strict adherence to protocols and on strong interpersonal communications.
Veteran photojournalists aim to take images of persons 'looking their best,' wich sometimes can be challenging. The standard rule should always be: one hour taking photos of people is equivalent to spending one later to review/select the 'best images.'
conferences
Photographing press conferences requires a blend of photojournalistic ethics and an ultra-rapid eye movement combined with arm-hand camera coordination.
The goal is to capture crisp, emotive and professional photos of participants. At no time, interrupting the flow of the conference by overreaching to photograph. Photographers should always be equipped with zoom lenses and not use flash (except in very rare instances.)
events

sports
Sports photography focuses on capturing decisive fast-paced moments using fast shutter speeds. To digitally record those instants, the photographer relies on specialized telephoto lenses (200, 500, 1,000 mm) to create a shallow depth of field, isolating the athletes and to blur distracting backgrounds.
The '80/20 rule' in photography is based on the 'Pareto Principle, which states that approximately 80% of one's impactful results come from 20% effort, skills or resources. Success is driven by identifying those leverage areas. In sports photography, it is essential to be in the 'right place at the right moment' to capture that image for posterity.
