I have always loved football. Once you have been a player, football always has a draw on you. I am 46 years old and I often dream that I have one more season left. Well we all know that I am never gonna put the pads on again. My start in photography was shooting high school football games and I have always wanted to do a studio shot of a player. Well Jacob contacted me about shooting some senior pics for him and I asked about football shots. I told him of a vision I had in my head and asked if he wanted to give it a try. He was all game. In this vision, I saw a player wet with sweat, misty rain illuminated from behind by stadium lights. I started planning how I was gonna pull this off in my livingroom studio. Jacob came over with a uniform, I set up 3 speedlights and my two daughters were more than happy to spray him down with water. The image we captured is exactly like the one in my head. I was very happy with the outcome. It gave me a great morale boost to be able to create an image from an idea and have it come out so well.
