Ever wondered what it would be like to photograph a major sporting event like the Olympics?
How about doing it for the last EIGHT Olympics, calling on all of your skills to capture the most epic scenes at the highest levels of competition, across the widest variety of sports, and deliver the shots in record time for broadcast around the world?
Attend our upcoming SlickPic Academy presentation with Jeff Cable, the official US Team Olympic photographer, and you’ll find out!
Jeff has just returned from the Summer Olympics in Paris with an amazing collection of images and stories from these most recent Games. In this exciting new talk, he’ll be sharing an insider’s view into this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

You’ll see the competition, the people, the venues, and the moments of time that literally make sports history. Jeff will also talk about the exceptionally tight deadlines that he has with Team USA, and his well-practiced workflow to be able to capture, cull, retouch, and submit his images to the team within minutes.

ABOUT THE SLICKPIC ACADEMY
The SlickPic Academy began in 2023 as a way for us to give back to the photo community at large, with informative and inspirational presentations by working artists and pros. Past presenters include such luminaries as Rick Sammon, Tony Sweet and Catherine Karnow, Bob DiNatale, Rick Hulbert, Roxanne Bouché-Overton and others on a wide variety of topics. Video replays can be found on the SlickPic YouTube channel
In 2024, we also introduced one of our most popular series, the “52-week Photo Challenge”. Each week, we introduce a new assignment (e.g. “long-exposure” or “symmetry”) that encourages learning, practice and sharing on a particular subject. Photographers may shoot new images for each week, or find and re-imagine older work. Join anytime by visiting this blog post, and get inspired by looking at all the images submitted to the 52-week Challenge thus far.
PS: Events like this are best enjoyed with friends – spread the love!
