Sports photographer, Duncan Philpott came into UTC to discuss photography, how he uses software and answer questions. During his presentation, Philpott expressed that while he was a sports photographer, a better definition would be something along the lines of an adventure photographer, as he takes pictures of mainly sports that are in specific, adventurous locations like a forest or cliff. Sometimes he may have to use a specific method of taking some photos, like a large tripod that is way above him to take a picture of the top of a mountain or something. His work has been on things like Nike's instagram account. He uses a software called Adobe Lightroom where he demonstrated how he navigates to his photos, through both colours that he chooses for specific categories, alongside a 5 star rating to filter what he likes the most. He also demonstrated the way he lights things through lightroom's tools, like emphasising the green in a woods photo, lighting up parts that were darker etc.
