A former staff photographer, as well as a current contributor at <em>Sports Illustrated (SI),<\/em> his photographs have appeared on the cover of that iconic magazine more than forty times. Equally proficient at shooting action, portraits and picture stories, he is also the photographer and author of a series of children&#8217;s books including &#8220;Our Soccer League, &#8220;Playing Hockey,&#8221; and &#8216;Major League Batboy.&#8217; \u2028He has received numerous awards for his photographs including placement in the prestigious<em> Pictures Of The Year<\/em> competition and one of his iconic images was honored by Sports Illustrated as one of the 100 greatest sports photographs of all time. His photographs have graced the pages of <em>Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, Time, New York Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, SI for Kids, NJ Monthly, Maclean&#8217;s, <\/em>and<em> Bunte<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Solomon is a firm believer in the power and lasting impact of the still image and has spent a good deal of his career striving to make pictures that stand the test of time. \u201cI\u2019ve always tried to shoot tight and bring the viewer closer to the action then they can normally get to,\u201d says Solomon. \u201cAlso, I have tried to step back at times to allow the viewer of the photo to experience a sense of place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some thoughtful first-person observations on his long career, his mission, his passion for sports, and his working methods that he made in the course of our intensive hour-long interview:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI use Canon cameras and lenses\u2014specifically Canon 1DX bodies and Canon fixed focal length lenses and zoom lenses. The Canon 400mm f 2.8 is my normal lens for sports action but I also try to have another body with a Canon 70-200mm f\/2.8 around my neck for unexpected action that\u2019s close in. In addition, I use the Canon 200-400mm f\/4 zoom lens, which is very versatile especially in the confines of crowded photo positions where you don\u2019t have the mobility to change cameras and lenses without bumping into the shooter next to you. Another go to lens is the Canon 16-35mm f 2.8 zoom. I shoot Canon because of the speed and accuracy of the autofocus system, and the durability and reliability of the gear even under the challenging conditions I often encounter. Their professional support is also topnotch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring my last year of college I bought a 35mm SLR, a Miranda Sensomat. I went to Europe for the summer and took lots of pictures. Some of my friends also had 35mm cameras. I think it was the influence of the movie Blow Up. A good way to meet girls&#8230; Really dating myself here-:). When I got out of college I was a teacher in the NYC school system and I was working in a program that taught young teens photography and video. At that time I was shooting hockey games at night and baseball and football games on the weekends, but I felt at some point I had to make the jump to shoot fulltime if I was going to do it right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had no formal education in photography, but early on I assisted Jerry Liebman who had a studio in NYC. Jerry did some catalog work where I would up hot gluing rings and other jewelry so they lined up properly for his catalog work. Not a lot of fun. But Jerry was also the team photographer for the NY Rangers, NY Jets and then the Cosmos. I did a lot of his darkroom work, developing countless rolls of B&amp;W film and printing hundreds of pictures. But I also got to shoot a lot of games&#8230; which was the best part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBasically, \u00a0I would say that I try to shoot clean, tight action with attention to detail. I watch my backgrounds very carefully and eliminate distracting elements. You\u2019ve go to make a clear graphic statement. Over the decades I\u2019ve learned to be much more patient than I was early on, especially when shooting baseball where you have to be extremely patient, waiting for something exciting to happen. I also learned that if I miss something, as everyone inevitably does, to just forget about it rather than dwell on it. If you do get hung up on missing a shot the chances are good you\u2019ll miss the next picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I look back on everything I\u2019ve done certainly the Sports illustrated covers I\u2019ve shot and also the recognition of having one of my images included in SI\u2019s top 100 sports images of all time, the collision at home plate detailed below are two things that are especially gratifying. And while you don\u2019t do what you do to garner awards it\u2019s a good feeling to be honored by your peers and I\u2019m proud that my images were considered worthy to be selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and to have received awards from the University of Missouri School of Journalism &#8211; Pictures of the Year, North American Soccer League Society of Publication Designers, and Kirkus Reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Stories Behind 4 Great Chuck Solomon Sports Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21969\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21969 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/001322665-1024x816.jpg\" alt=\"Baseball: Detroit Tigers Kirk Gibson (23) in action, scoring run vs Kansas City Royals Pat Borders (15).

When I started out, pros were allowed to shoot on the field in Baltimore, Cleveland and Detroit, but Tiger Stadium was by far the best, with its cavernous stands, which went completely dark so images popped out at home plate against dark backgrounds. Shooting from the field also enabled you to could shoot from unique angles. I was shooting Gibson before the game around the batting cage and he yelled at me to shoot only during the game. He didn\u2019t like photographers very much. I saw him a few weeks after I made this picture and asked him if he saw it, as it ran as a two-page spread in Sports Illustrated. He smiled and said it was \u201cpretty good.\u201d This image was selected by Sports Illustrated I as one of the 100 greatest sports photographs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21974\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21974\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21974 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/exp2073-1024x651.jpg\" alt=\"exp2073\" width=\"640\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/exp2073-1024x651.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/exp2073-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/exp2073.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21974\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Chuck Solomon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The other Ripken<\/p>\n<p>This was shot during a spring training game in Port Charlotte, Florida. Spring training lets you shoot day after day in great light. The problem is that key players only play a few innings and are usually not going to risk injury diving after balls, hitting walls or sliding head first into bases. Billy Ripken played with abandon. He had to, being much less talented than his more famous brother and in danger of not making opening day rosters. I knew I had something good when I shot this. But I wasn\u2019t sure if I held focus. I held focus on one frame and the next one was out. Luckily the sharp one was the most important frame.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21970\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21970\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21970 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/076489659-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;YOGI'S BACK&quot; Former New York Yankee Yogi Berra stands at home plate before the final regular season MLB American League baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium in New York, September 21, 2008.

Often the reaction is harder to anticipate and capture since it happens so quickly, unexpectedly and sometimes where you don\u2019t expect it. I\u2019ve learned to quickly aim my camera back to the pitcher\u2019s mound after a key third out, whether it\u2019s a key strikeout or inning ending double play. Harvey usually doesn\u2019t give you much. But here he certainly did, after recording a key third out in last year\u2019s World Series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best advice I received 40 years ago<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re going to worry about people shooting part time, shooting to get into games for free, to give prints away to athletes, or to see their pictures in print and earning little or no money&#8230; you better do something else&#8230; But if you work hard, value your work, have a little talent, treat it as a business and get a few breaks&#8230; Just maybe you can make a living doing something you love; shooting sports.\u201d This advice, from a veteran sports photographer, is as relevant now as it was 40 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhotography has been my life\u2019s work and has afforded me the opportunity of leading an interesting life doing something I love.
