Getting Hired: What Sports Illustrated Looks For In Photographers

As part of our latest free guide, Growing Your Sports Photography Business, we interviewed Brad Smith, Director of Photography at Sports Illustrated. Prior to his gig at SI, Brad served as the Senior Sports Photography Editor at The New York Times for 12 years. He talked to us about what he likes to see in a photographer’s portfolio, the types of images (and photographers) he’s looking for, and why.
