Volleyball World League – Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

I was in Saskatoon over the weekend shooting six matches of Volleyball for Volleyball Canada and the World League. When editing photos I remember a tip that Peter Bregg told me at this years NPAC conference in Toronto.  He said “opposite to a book, you don’t want your photos to be a page turner.” I think about that when editing because there must be something about the image that stops me and makes me think about the content or how the photo was made.

Below are the best shots from the six games.
