Couldn’t photograph this day on my own. Charlotte FC’s historical inaugural match from a Team Photography perspective was photographed entirely by women. The attendance record isn’t the only ceiling shattering over here 💯
Thank you ladies, y’all killed it 🤍

This is Alex Corrie. She saw that

This Saturday, she skipped her high school senior prom to second shoot as a team photographer with me at 18-years-old.

Advice I Wish Someone Told Me Earlier In My Career:
• the grass is not always greener
• social media is fake
• don’t take for granted a good boss
• have fun. srsly
• money isn’t everything
• opportunities, resources & trust can be more valuable than titles
• take a break

SO IT’S NOT JUST TAKING PHOTOS. YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVERY IMAGE AND SELECT THE ONES TO EDIT. THEN YOU EDIT ALL OF THOSE, CROP AND STRAIGHTEN HORIZON LINES. AFTER THAT YOU EXPORT EVERYTHING WITH THE RIGHT FILE NAME, INPUT METADATA, KEYWORD EACH PHOTO AND THEN UPLOAD ALL OF IT.

Things male photographers said to my female photography team last night:
"Baker is here. Baker Mayfield? Do you even know who that is?"
"I bet you fan-girled over Pulisic didn't you? Had to wipe the sweat off your brow seeing him that close huh"
"Interns can't be on the field"

taking a photo that has a famous person, athlete, artist or musician in frame, does not make the photo inherently good and / or impressive

Baby me would think what adult me gets do to for a living is pretty cool.
I graduated from a rural public high school with 90 people & a D3 College with less than 400. Now I get to make creative for sports organizations that have over 3 million fans on social alone. Thats crazy

I actually hate this. Guarantee the majority of 800 “credentialed” media is using this as a portfolio build & clout case than actual news coverage that benefits either athletic program brands.
To me this makes working conditions and access for team employees more difficult too.
Colorado has issued over 800 media credentials for today's game vs. Nebraska — smashing the Folsom Field record of 616 from 2001.
The opponent that day: Nebraska.

I’m in awe at so many creatives’ talents. I know I’ll never be the best photographer or designer. I won’t win awards or be the most followed. I’m not special & that’s okay. What is attainable is being cool with imperfection, cheering on other’s success & being a helpful teammate.

? Let’s truly include & empower women in the work place. Don’t just shout them out on social for optics 1 day of 365.

A high following on social media does not equal good work.
A small follower count does not equal incapability.
Do your research & talk to peers with direct experience with individuals before discrediting or accrediting someone based on perception of how they exist online.

Giant misconception about photographing for a team: It is not all fun & games. It's not only players, celebrations & action. That's lovely if you can capture that..But we're also responsible for marketing, ticketing, sponsorships, community. EVERYTHING from a business standpoint

The last 2 years of my professional life has been 150% in on a team that when I started didn’t have a name, brand, coach, or roster. I said “I can’t, I have work” to more family & friends things than I can count.
I really believe in how special soccer is. Tomorrow gonna be lit.

Photos for me aren’t about the fact that I took it, but my people-pleasing-ass just wants the people in the photos, or people that see the photos, to like them and get some sort of enjoyment and joy out of having that moment captured to keep.

Don’t be such a career/business focused person you put off prioritizing family & loved ones.
There will always be wins & losses at work whether you’re in sports or not, but don’t lose yourself. That’s a loss you can’t afford.

Nothing will make me not hire you faster than posts "flexing" for clout or jumping for photo/autographs of players.
Those are guaranteed ways for leaders in organizations to not take you seriously as a professional. Especially if you are trying to get established in the industry

I had to go through my uncle & my pawpaw’s life in photos 5 weeks apart for their funerals. Photography shouldn’t be about clout or yourself. It’s the memories, emotions & people in the photo that matter. Having that to keep goes deeper than likes & being recognized for taking it

Regardless of how good you are to people, not everyone will like you.
Not everyone will want to be in your life. Not everyone will care about you.

Supporting women in sports isn’t just tweeting it.
When women with the same years of experience (& arguably better portfolio) give you a photo rate that’s significantly cheaper than their male equals, instead of paying her that, match the equal pay the men asked for💰🤷🏼♀️

Depression looks great disguised as a success-the-best-revenge-glow-up narrative on social, but trust me it’s absolute hell in your mind where no one sees memories attacking your sense of self-worth & purpose.
