Modern Sports Portraits
Melbourne Sports Photography are continuing to push the boundaries on modern sports portraits. There is growing demand for informal, creative and unique sports portraits, and we are having a lot of fun doing these.
In a recent shoot with the Camberwell Dragons Under 14 Boys basketball team, we had a terrific time creating these portraits.
Each of these effects are achieved in camera with minimal post production work.
The backgrounds are made by the Melbourne Sports Photography team - led by 'chief background maker' Phil. This background has the horizontal lines cut into it, and the white light effect is achieved by firing a strobe from behind the background. The cool player effect is achieved by having some keen sports people who are happy to show some personality in front of camera! The smoke effect comes from a canned smoke product and gets lit by the strobe from behind and another strobe in front.
If you are interested in creating some unique sports portraits, please get in touch with Craig. Contact details are available here on the Melbourne Sports Photography website. And to our friends from the Camberwell Dragons Under 14 boys team, best of luck at the upcoming Nationals Club Championships!
