>> My name is Keiko Galagia [assumed spelling] and I do athletic photography. Well, I work for a company in Pittsburgh called Graphic Athletics. And we travel each weekend to different tournaments around the northeastern United States, basically doing team pictures for teams in select tournaments. So it is not your average teams, above average competition. We do everything from cheerleading, to lacrosse, to basketball to soccer. If it is out there, we'll try to shoot it. On an average weekend, we'll leave Friday, do a travel day on Friday, and then Saturday and Sunday are your tournament days. Work about a 10-hour day, but I'm off Monday through Thursday, so it doesn't hurt after everything is said an done. We shoot on standard Canon Rebel T5s. An average camera, as far as the market goes. It doesn't break the bank or anything. Then we use large printers to be able to put out 12 x 3016 posters.
