Learn about sports photography from the Dodgers’ team photographer.

If you’ve seen a photograph on the Dodgers’ website, or in the pages of the monthly magazine sold to fans at Dodger Stadium, or on the team’s social media accounts, you know Jon SooHoo. He’s the official team photographer, and has been embedded in the Dodger Stadium dugout with a camera since Randy Johnson was an Expo.

SooHoo and Matt Brown, the Angels’ team photographer, will be sharing the tricks of their trade at an upcoming event in Los Angeles. “Behind the Lens: Southern California Baseball Photography with Jon SooHoo & Matt Brown” is a two-hour seminar geared toward beginners looking to learn more about sports photography. The cost is a mere $5. Brown and SooHoo will be presenting about 10 photos and talking about the story behind the shots. I saw some of SooHoo’s photos yesterday. Each shot featured someone so random, it had me thinking “no way, is that … ?” There should be some good stories.
