Major League Photos - Taking Baseball Pictures With Alex Trautwig

Roll out of bed. Head on over to Yankee Stadium. Take actions shots of the all the best players in baseball. Go home. Repeat.

For many, that might sound like a dream, but for Alex Trautwig that is his daily reality. For the last 5 years he has worked as a professional photographer for Major League Baseball, attending all the biggest moments in the sport and capturing them on camera. 

From no-hitters, to historic World Series titles, to a stray line drive off the dome, Alex has seen it all. In this episode we talked about how he started photography at a young age and the value of being self-taught. We also discussed where he wants to take his work going forward, the effects of phone cameras on photography, and ohh, I don't know... this little ol' thing like his work making a Sports Illustrated cover.

If you want to keep up with what Alex is doing, be sure to follow him over on Instagram at @atraut or check out his portfolio www.alextrautwig.com. He says he responds to EVERY message. Test it out if you have any interest in pursuing photography.
