Love him or hate him, Tiger Woods sure is fun to photograph. He is one of the few professional golfers I’ve covered who shows emotion. And I’ll always take reaction over action.
It was a great week shooting and watching pro photogs from the AP, Sports Illustrated and elsewhere work the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament. Here are a few of my favorites from the week.
The shoot was an incredible amount of fun as all the players really got into it. A couple of things I would mention when working with baby powder:
1. Shoot with a long lens and try to keep your camera away from it.
2. Bring a big fan to clear the air.
3. Don’t wear black.
The photos above are a few of my favorites. Thanks Travis Geske for helping with the shoot and providing some pretty spectacular powder throws. I owe you a beer.

There’s just something about the challenge of making an interesting photo in a controlled environment. It’s why I love shooting press conference at our city’s rotunda. It’s a small room, and I’ll take several photos in there during the week. But it always seems to provide some new way angle, new mood, new light.
