|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Basketball Portrait Shoot for College Newspaper Robert Boag, Student/Intern Harrisonburg | VA | US | Posted: 1:04 AM on 11.06.09 ->> Hey Guys, Basketball season is upon us and the college newspaper I work for is looking to do a shoot with 2 of the key players in about a week from now. We are gonna be shooting on the basketball court and I have a few lights that we can play around with. I have a few ideas on what I would like to do with this but was wondering if any of you had advice/suggestions or work that I should look at for some more creative ideas/examples. Thanks Robert  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've only done one with a basketball player and it wasn't till after the season. He graduated with a year of eligibility left and went to another school to play football. It was done with one light, two separate shots photoshopped together since I only have one light. http://www.u.arizona.edu/~awalsh/fendi.jpg My advice would be to incorporate what the story is about into the photo some how. If they're known shooters try and get a cool jump shot. Dunkers get a dunk shot, etc. It's up to you and your imagination in the end.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Both of them shoot some sweet basketball portraits for RISE. Do it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
