Fusion Speaker Series – Action Sports Photography – Christopher Morris

There is no better subject for a photographer than sports. Action, winners, losers, raw emotion; they are all on full display, and make great pictures. Christopher Morris will talk about his experiences shooting the Olympics, Pan American games, Stanley Cup finals, World Cup soccer, baseball, the most prestigious and high pressure assignment of them all, his daughter’s soccer, and more. Come hear the story behind the pictures, and how they are made. With his recent experience shooting for Team Canada at the Pan-Am Games in Lima, Peru, Chris will talk about the planning, preparation, and shooting of a major sports event. Learn what goes in to the making of compelling sports photos with ideas, tips, and a look behind the scenes.

“I live in Vancouver, Canada. I have been a photographer for thirty years and have worked with many clients, in many places, on many assignments, and occasionally, winning an award. With me in Vancouver are my wife Lara, daughters Caitlin and Paige, and dog Scout, all of whom like walking on the beach. There are lots of beaches in Vancouver so everybody is very happy. Scout likes to chase sticks at the beach, Lara and the girls don’t.”
