Portrait of a Basketball Player

5 years 3 months ago - 5 years 3 months ago #624508 by Nikon Shooter


Last Summer, I was preparing a portraits portfolio of basketball 
players in a major league's team, hoping I would get the job of 
the official work for the ream and possibly the league… and for 
the fun of it because my son knows a couple of the players.

At both levels, team first and league a few months later, expres-
sed the pleasure they had with the pictures and that they would 
be happy to work with me in the future.

This shoot of the first to show up at the studio was a treat becau-
se of his great acting facilities. This is one of the many pictures 
this cool dude gave me after a minimum of direction…

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Well Done!  Very good action, super facial expression, great timing, lighting which somewhat represents stadium lighting and the processing and skin tones are spot on. You can shoot my team!

There are photographs everywhere. It is the call of photographers to see and capture those images.

Hey, we have snow.  It's a little less than an hours drive from here.
