An interview with a Photographer who has more Sports Illustrated covers than me : RAWtalk 122

Published: March 2, 2015, 4 a.m.

This week I sat down with former Sports Illustrated staff photographer Al Tielemans. \xa0I first met Al when I was 17 or 18 where we shot together in the dugout of Veteran stadium for a Phillies game. \xa0I invited Al in because he is one of the best sports photographers of our time and I know he would be able to shed some light on the industry for us all. \xa0If there is one thing I took out of this interview it\u2019s a statement that Al made about \u201cpractice\u201d. \xa0He mentioned during his off days form assignments he would go out and shoot to keep his skills tight. \xa0You can not become a better photographer if you don\u2019t get out there and shoot.\xa0
