images of the 2012 MLB season from Spring Training through the World Series, and \u201cChampionship Blood: the San Francisco Giants 2014 World Champions\u201d that captures the team\u2019s relentless spirit of passion and persistence. Brad earned a degree in photojournalism from San Jose State University in 1988, and two years later worked for legendary sports photographer Neil Leifer as the Bay Area staff photographer at the National Sports Daily. To give you a better understanding of what makes Brad Mangin tick and why his baseball images are unique and timeless, here are his insightful interview responses:<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>Q.<\/strong> What equipment do you typically use in your work?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>A.<\/strong> I\u2019m pretty basic. Professionally, I shoot with a Canon EOS-1D X digital SLR cameras and Canon lenses. My main lens for shooting baseball is the fabulous 400mm 2.8, along with the 70-200mm 2.8. I also use the 16-35mm 2.8. I have a few Gitzo carbon fiber monopods that I\u2019ve been using for a long time and I keep everything in a Think Tank rolling case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>Q.<\/strong> What is your mission statement? What are you generally trying to achieve with your photography?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>A.<\/strong> I love telling stories with my pictures from the ballpark and giving the fans a different look at the game that they see every day on television or in person from the stands. I have great access, being able to shoot from the field and having the chance to hang around the dugouts before the game to capture candid moments of players getting ready. It\u2019s not just about guys swinging the bat and throwing the ball. It\u2019s about capturing the beauty of the game\u2014the emotion, the details, the history. I feel like my job is to honor the game by documenting the history of our National Pastime the best way I can. I\u2019ve donated my life\u2019s work to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York and that\u2019s very important to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>Q.<\/strong> <em>Were you a serious enthusiast before going pro? What made you decide to GoPro?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>A.<\/strong> I was a huge San Francisco Giants fan and had a Kodak 126 Instamatic like many kids growing up in the 1970s. I switched to a Kodak 110 camera when those came out but was never interested in photography. I wanted to be the next Giants radio play-by-play announcer. I first got into photography during my junior year of high school when I took a basic photo class from a fabulous teacher named Paul Ficken. My best friend Joe Gosen had taken the class and told me I\u2019d love it. Joe let me use his Pentax ME-Super (1982) that semester and I was hooked. Joe and I both decided to major in photojournalism and got deeply involved in newspaper photography in college at San Jose State.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>Q.<\/strong> <em>What is it about baseball that makes it so special for you and inspires your creative quest as a photographer? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>A.<\/strong> I love that it\u2019s every day, that it\u2019s a game of failure, that is very challenging, that it\u2019s a long season, and that every player has stretches of good and bad and can\u2019t get too high or too low. These guys go out there and get to experience a game that has more history than practically any other sport in America, a game that\u2019s changed very little over the years in its basic concept or design. Baseball is a perfect game and I am honored to capture its memorable moments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>Q.<\/strong> <em>What is your unique \u201csauce,\u201d the concept, approach or idea that lets you consistently capture images that stand the test of time?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>A.<\/strong> I guess it comes down to having an in-depth knowledge and passion for the game. If you don\u2019t have a feel for the game, baseball can seem long and boring, but true baseball fans know it\u2019s anything but. As a photographer, I rely on my knowledge of the sport and that gives me the confidence to be at the right place at the right time, and to take chances. I love to shoot from different angles and rarely every shoot from first base, which is the standard approach. Sports photography legend Walter Iooss says. \u201cGo where other photographers aren\u2019t,\u201d so I\u2019m always looking for a different angle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\">I\u2019m also very lucky to have worked with great picture editors, Paul Cunningham at Major League Baseball Photos, and Nate Gordon at Sports Illustrated. They really helped me to become a better photographer, to shoot unique pictures that nobody else had by taking risks. Both were very supportive of the idea of taking risks and coming up with distinctive pictures. You have to take huge risks to get high rewards and knowing that these guys have your back helps you do that. I\u2019ll never forget the time Nate told me, \u201dI don\u2019t want to see baseball cards.\u201d That\u2019s why my mission is to create images that convey a sense of time, a sense of place, and a sense of history. A good example is my classic picture of Barry Bonds behind the plate as he hit home run number 756 to pass Hanks Aaron in the all-time career home run list with the scoreboard in the background\u2014I shot it with a remote camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>Q.<\/strong> <em>You have created and astonishing portfolio of pictures posted on Instagram that <\/em>were<em> shot with an iPhone camera. What was the idea behind this project?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-0ba6225c-9629-0986-8245-4ef2f24b1693\"><strong>A.<\/strong> I wanted to prove you can make great pix with an iPhone-to disprove the often-repeated comment, \u201cSure you can take great picture because you use a Pro DSLR and a 400mm f\/2.8 lens.\u201d It\u2019s a fun challenge to do everything in the phone and I love the social media aspect. As a freelancer only a small percentage of what I shoot winds up on a printed page and getting a Leading-Off 2-page spread in SI is rare. So when I went to the Giants\u2019 recent home opener, I decided to get there before sunrise. I made 2 beautiful pictures with my iPhone and instantly shared them by 7 AM on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. In a few clicks, I made photographers and fans happy all over the world\u2014very cool.
