Hockey Photos - Individual & Team

<p>Hello,<br>

I'm trying to find the perfect balance when I shoot some individual hockey photos. Last year, I went directly on the ice to photograph the kids in front of the net but that took some of the practice time and the pose was "been there, done that". I would like to photograph the kids without taking some of their precious practice time so I'm wondering how you do it. Do you shoot inside the dressing room? On the ice? Action shots? Some parents told me they prefer action shots so I'm leaning towards that. Any suggestions? Thanks a million!<br>

<p>Shooting team photos and shooting action photos are two different things. Team photos -- typically the group shot and then a headshot of each kid -- are relatively easy and a controlled situation. The team has to make the time to do this. It doesn't have to take away from ice time -- just have them arrive early and shoot in an area of the building other than on the ice.<br /><br />Action shots can be made during practice or the game, so they don't have to take away from ice time. But they are much harder to shoot. Takes a lot of practice and even then a lot of shots to get a few good ones. I don't shoot hockey but I do shoot figure skating. Either way it's kids moving faster under low light. I typically throw away about two thirds of what I shoot just in my first pass of editing, then throw out half of what's left to get down to the ones I really like. DoDo has some great shots above, looks like he's been doing it for a while.</p>

<p>Craig is right. Photo shoot ice hockey /indoor and ice/ is one of the most difficult "photo´s discipline". It took me four years to get to today's level. See photo from the my first ice hockey game /same camera, same lens/ and compare it to the previous photo :-)<br>
