The ease of doing business with Field of View is also important for volunteers, especially in early January when the carnival is played" - P.Rosenthal, President, Box Hill Reporter District Cricket Association

 

Our Club have used Field of View for many years and we would highly recommend Jo and her business to anyone looking for a sports photographer.  In fact we started using Jo in 2008 and its always been a pleasure to have her part of our Club. I’ve been with the Junior Club for six years and communication and professionalism is always second to none. The staff on the cameras during game day are never in the way and sometimes the kids don’t even notice them at the game. When weve had Team photo days at our Club its always worked like clockwork and the job gets done quickly and efficiently. Always happy to recommend this business.  Belinda KingSouth Croydon Junior Football Club

What makes great sports photography?

The emotion of the moment, the body in flight, the story of the game and the tension in the air.  Everything about a sports photography shoot is intense.  It’s in the moment.  There can’t be a plan.  Everything just happens – and it’s split-second timing as to whether the camera shutter gets it, or the moment is lost – but there’s no time to worry about what you missed coz there’s other stuff going on – and it doesn’t stop until the final siren.  But then… there’s the dejected looks from the losing team, the wow for the winners, the disbursement of the crowd, and the celebrations and commiserations that follow.

Jo Fairy has been behind the camera for over 20 years and now has a team of photographers onboard to help capture the many games every weekend.

“When I step onto the ground and the siren goes, it’s like a switch goes on in every person around the ground.  It doesn’t matter whether it’s football, baseball, netball or cricket.  The anticipation is palpable.  The expectations are high.  The nerves are raw.  It might be Little League or the AFL, but the feelings are all on the same page.  It’s a short journey of players and athletes bringing their best to the fore.  Time seems to stand still will the focus is just on that green patch of grass, a ball, a bat, and a bunch of people all transfixed on a game of skill, some rules, the odd meat pie, and scraped knees.

As a photographer, it’s not just about the action though.  The team may have had a bad run of luck and suddenly, on the day, there’s a resurgence of elation and victory.  The scores may be neck and neck.  The crowd rises and falls in waves as scores are made.  It’s a community of camaraderie.  No one cares if it’s pouring rain or not.  It’s more than a game – it’s family.

“I’m often asked what makes a great sports photography,” says Jo.  “Field of View Sports Photography is my baby, and it never ceases to amaze me when the perfect sports photo just happens.  Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of skill, and experience with the lens, getting the shutter speed right, and positioning yourself around the ground.  There’s the mental and physical anticipation of being ready for a moment to happen – and knowing the game, the grounds and the rules.  But it’s electric when you get that shot, that face, that outstretched muscle in time.  It’s emotional, intense, and dramatic all at once.”

At Field of View Sports Photography, we just know what to look for, and we thrive on those majestic moments that (sometimes) only a great gametime snapshot can see.

That’s magical – and that’s why we love what we do!
