Action Sport Photography with Red Bull Photographer Corey Rich with Corey Rich

I really enjoyed this class! I am not an "action sports photographer" -- just an avid photo enthusiast, and I found this class highly informative/interesting. Corey has a very down-to-earth quality in the way he presents information... a regular guy, who knows a ton, and is sharing his wisdom. Clearly many topics/tips were off-the-cuff as he ran into situations during his shoots -- it just felt very "real" -- like I was there with him, getting a private lesson. There was quite a bit of info dealing with camera cards/photos/apps that was ubiquitous to any photographer. And then it was interesting to hear about his travel bags and what he brings to shoots (a ridiculous amount of gear, but everything with a purpose). There are hours of on-site filming for an outdoor ski and an indoor bmx shot... with Cory trying/failing/succeeding in many attempts at things -- just like a real photo shoot would happen. His advice for capturing a good/workable shot from the get-go and then spending the time on the riskier/more-creative shots, was solid -- as far as keeping your clients happy no matter what. I was genuinely surprised at how interesting/useful I found this class (being that I rarely take action shots) -- and I'd encourage any photo enthusiast, or person in the earlier stages of any professional photography career, to check out this class. My one piece of constructive criticism for Cory/CreativeLive -- try to represent women? This class only had the briefest of inclusion of females, and left me with the impression (I'm hoping incorrectly), that the world of action sports photography, is a man's world.

Muy bueno y recomendable, bien práctico y con muchas herramientas para mejorar en todo aspecto.

This is a good class but there were no women students in it. I know of many, many talented women action sport photographers and many who are interested in getting into it and learning it. Come on, be better. Get with the times!!

Just wow seriously wow!

This class blew away all expectations, goes down into minute details and found the conceptualizing of shots extremely helpful and the process that goes into getting the images. If you want to become an adventure photographer, I don't think you will find a better course than this one!

Incredibly informative. Corey does a spectacular job covering every aspect of the shoot. Even if you don't do this on the same scale, there is something to learn for every photographer in this class.

This has been the first long course that i've seen from creativelive that I simply couldn't stop watching. Corey is articulate, informative, approachable and quite inspirational. He's great a taking complex, technical situations and distilling them down into easy to understand actionable items. Solid!

Corey gives us an amazing insight on Sport Photography, showing the basics and its practice, but also revealing much about his creative process. It is great not only for those interested in Sport Photography, but also for portrait and action photographers.

One of the best photographic purchases I've made. Big fan of Corey Rich's work and getting a behind the scenes look at how he works and thinks was thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening. Corey and the others also provided a great amount of insight into the business world behind action sports photography.

What a mouthful. Incredible class to learn so many new tips and tricks as well as confirming your process. Truly enjoyed watching the techniques. I would recommend this to any and everyone who is interested in any type of action photography.

An incredible look in to the action sports photography world. Corey does an amazing job of showing what it takes and many of the uncertainties face on a shoot. As a photographer and climber I am even more inspired to merge my passions together. Corey's team also gives a glimpse in to the business aspects of being professional; which is something I haven't seen other's be willing to share. Taking great photographs is only part of the game.

I learned so much from Corey Rich's "Storytelling on Location" class, I had high expectations for this class. And they were exceeded. "Action Sport Photography" goes deep on everything a photographer needs to do to be successful Lighting, exposure, set-up, working with the athletes, backgrounds, processing, editing, and adding your own creative touch. It's aimed at the professional photographer, but even if you don't have all the fancy gear (like me), you'll get a lot out of this class. There is no boring "class lecture." Instead you tag along with Corey as he goes about his business getting ready for and then taking action photographs. The best part: Corey shares his thoughts -- it's almost like he's voicing his stream of consciousness out loud for us all to learn from. He shares exactly what he thinks about and does during an action photo shoot. It's like getting private coaching from him on what to consider, what to pay attention to, what you should worry about, how to deal with things that go wrong, what tips can make everything easier, and in the end, how to get that spectacular action shot. I also liked it when Corey Rich and Chase Jarvis riff about each other's photos - the two of them together are great. If you're looking for meaty technical detail, it's here. Corey brings his talented Red Bull photography crew along and they often chime in on lighting, exposure, editing, processing, gear, and more, in some cases in special segments. I found myself learning all sorts of tips, tricks, and habits that I wish to develop from this course. Plus it's a kick to watch.

If you're looking to learn from one of the greats of action photography who also happens to be an incredible instructor, look no further! Corey Rich and his fantastic team will show you every facet of being a great action photographer and they share all of their insights from A to Z. Their instruction is heartfelt and they laid it all out there for everyone's benefit. A huge thank you to Creative Live and Red Bull Photography for bringing this to the world. This is a must have class in your library!

As a pro sports photographer myself, I saw lots of familiar information but the best aspects of the course are the practical live shoots with the varied tips and hints that all the team provided. It takes time to pick these up and this is a great short cut to leap forward with your workflow, practical on site technical problems and seeing what works and being your strongest critic. I bought the course as a reference to review as you never stop learning in this business. Thanks to Corey and all the team for putting this on. I have been waiting for a couple of years for such a course so please do more.

This is really an amazing course. Hands on education on the slopes with a top action sports photographer. There are a few spots where it gets a little slow but overall the content is great and the fact that it was broadcast directly from Lake Tahoe is amazing.

Blown away again by yet another phenomenal class that Creativelive has produced. This time, Creativelive has partnered with Corey Rich and Red Bull to bring you not only a behind the scene view point of what it takes to become such an acclaimed photographer but also created a lesson plan and broken down all the steps for one to start that path- Thank you so much to Creativelive, Corey Rich, Red Bull Imaging for this insightful and educational video
