Sports Shooter Academy IX participant Mat Boyle’s image of Cal State Fullerton soccer player, Jordan Wolff, won “best portrait” of the workshop made with a PocketWizard product.  SSA IX sponsor, PocketWizard selected the photo from dozens of submissions by workshop participants made throughout the week.

Mat will receive a pair of PocketWizard Plus III transceivers for his winning image.

Using the PocketWizard Flex system’s high shutter speed sync feature, Mat was able to shoot at 1/4000 to freeze the player in mid air while still able to light him.

The Sports Shooter Academy would like to thank tech/marketing rep, Ian Ray and PocketWizard for their amazing on-site contributions of  knowledge, remote equipment and most importantly support throughout the 4-day workshop.  We had a record number of remote units in field with faculty expertise at each and every location that helped make SSA IX THE coolest sport photography and remote workshop of the year!
