Sports & Storytelling With Jean Fruth, Part 1: The Longterm Project

For Sony Artisan of Imagery Jean Fruth, the story of sports extends far beyond the field of play, where passion meets purpose. The technical side of capturing the action only scratches the surface, as it’s the stories behind the athletes, the cultures they embrace and the worldly issues bubbling under the surface that create the foundation of the body of work Jean has produced. And at the heart of it all is the longterm project. It is the crowning achievement for many artists—a tribute to dedication, preparation and a burning passion to uncover every corner of an untold story. For Jean, her longterm projects focused on women’s sports have cemented her legacy as not just one of the most highly regarded sports photographers, but also a filmmaker, author and storyteller for the ages. Join her as she guides you through her process to completing longterm projects and gives us an inside look at her latest work.
