Ace photog and friend Jade Hewitt is my latest Talking Travel interview guest on Global Traveler. As Director of Photography for Athletes Unlimited Sports, Jade discussed softball and travel, two of my favorite subjects.
Many people say Jade has a dream job taking pictures at sports events, but they don't see the hard work Jade puts into her craft. She is also a big promoter of women's sports, whether talking to youngsters, giving advice online, handing out Topps trading cards or any of the other ways Jade grows the sports.
Jade also does a fair share of travel, taking many pictures along the way. In our interview, she happily gave tips to novices about taking vacation pictures. She also discussed her favorite shots, favorite places, bucket-list destinations and more.
I have known Jade for more than a decade. I have never seen her in a bad mood. With a smile on her face, Jade is one of the first people at any AU event. Before games, she chats with fans, takes hundreds of pictures or scouts new picture angle possibilities. After so many years of shooting in the same venues, Jade still looks for new angles and new photos. A true professional, she is never satisfied with the same old shots.
