Q & A with OCC photographer Hank Schellingerhout

By Tony Lee On Friday, May 08, 2009
Tell me aboutyour last name, Schellingerhout.
It’s Dutch. I actually immigrated from Holland when I was 6-years-old.

How many people actually pronounce it right or spell it right?
Not too many but they try ad get close. It’s something I’ve grown used to.

How did you get into photography?
I guess when I was in (Fountain Valley) High School. I took a photo class, had a camera and eventually got into the year book staff in high school and then I started shooting a lot of sports for the year book and the coaches asked for pictures. I kept shooting for them even after high school, baseball, football and I still shoot for their girls basketball team for 26 years now.

What’s your favorite sport to shoot?
It changes. It used to be volleyball. At one point the coach asked me to bring lights in and it really got interesting; the coach was very enthusiastic so we got some really good pictures. Basketball’s fun. I like shooting soccer because I coach AYSO soccer. The least favorite is baseball because it’s hard to follow the ball. You don’t know where the balls going to go next – it’s challenging.

Besides photography, what do you like to do?
Watch sports – I mean I love to watch any types of sports. I like coaching soccer and going out to sporting events.

Besides sports, what else do you like to shoot?
Sports is my favorite. I shoot all the other things that goes on campus – events, dramas, symphonies and the meet-and-greets with all the famous people.
