Sports photography: training and studies

Becoming a sports photographer does not necessarily require a degree. Just like sportsmen and women, the photographer's artistic talent is as important as his or her skills. However, it is necessary to master the techniques and know the basics. Among the training courses in photography, there is the Bac pro in photography, the BEP, the BTM and the BTS. In France, a sports photographer must have a CPL (Correspondant Local de Presse) for low-level sporting events or a USJF (Union des Journalistes de Sport en France) press card for high-level sporting events. A sports photographer must master the specific techniques of the sports discipline to be photographed. They can also take sports and team portraits. He is necessarily passionate about sport and is attentive to the slightest unseen moments. He must also be discreet and have a sense of communication.
