Lifestyle.
Good sports photographers don't stop when the action does. Some of the most interesting and compelling images come from photos sot behind the scenes this is because the viewer then will gain a wider knowledge of how the subject actually live their lives. It when the viewer hasn't seen what the image is portraying whig really captivates the viewer. there is much more than just the riding in bmx, its the lifestyle too which is why many people decide to pick up a camera in the first place. Its mainly the tough of promoting and helping people understand why we do what we do that not only excites me but other none photographers riders. Everything from the places we go, sights we see, people we meet, all due to riding a bike. With this being said don't allow yourself to only get taught up in only the action of the sport. Think about again the people, places and culture.
Knowing the rider.
knowing your rider is as important as knowing the sport. knowing your rider allows you to depict what type of photo looks best and what setting are suitable. E.G- if your rider is tech, street, park, dirt etc these would all need different approaches. Same goes for what type of trick they are doing.
