The Melbourne Sports Photography team recently had the opportunity to work with 2 teams from LC Elite Basketball to create unique sports portraits. (Our understanding is that their rep club didn't do team photos this year, so some of the parents organised the session with us to capture the memories from the season.)

The shoot was held at a local sports stadium which hires out "community rooms". What a great idea community rooms are! This one was a large space with plenty of room to set up our lights and backgrounds.

We shot one team after the other, with an hour for each team, and time in the middle where we had some players from each team combine for friends shots.

We included a team photo for each team, including players and coaches (not shown here).

By far the highlight for the players was being able to participate in a fun session and create unique portraits - very different than a normal team photo session.

Thanks to the players, coaches, and families we met during this shoot. Craig and Phil, from Melbourne Sports Photography, had a lot of fun working with you and were delighted to hear that both teams went on to win their VJBL grand finals! Congratulations!
