SPORTS PORTRAITS CHARLOTTESVILLE
I’m the first to admit that I know almost nothing about sports. My husband loves football and golf and my sons are soccer fanatics. They’ve been to hockey and baseball games and generally love anything involving sports.
I on the other hand watch the Super Bowl strictly for the commercials and can never figure out what it means to be off sides.
You know what I do love though? Photographing athletes! In the studio or on a field, posed or actions shots, I absolutely LOVE IT!!
I’ve photographed students that play football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, swimming, field hockey, golf, track and even cheer leading!
I get that having a photo session on the school’s field, isn’t always possible. That’s why I offer sports sessions in my studio!
It’s a great alternative to outdoor sports photos. Don’t get me wrong, I love those sessions but sometimes due to weather or timing, having the session in the studio is a necessity!
Unless I’m using colored gels, I like to keep the photos black and white. That way, you don’t have to deal with competing colors of the uniforms and equipment. All you are focusing on is the athlete and their gear.
Photos like these are a wonderful alternative to traditional sports portraits!
You even have the option of a fog machine to take your photos to the next level of awesome!
Of course, you don’t have to be serious in your sports photo. If if feels more natural for you to smile, then by all means lay it on me! 🙂
You don’t have to be a senior to schedule one of these sessions. I’d love to photograph athletes from Middle School on up!
Quite often, people are only athletes in High School. Afterwards, college and then life takes over. Make sure you get photos that capture the awesome skills that you have before it’s too late!
I offer two different packages for sports studio sessions. You can find all the info here.
If you’d like to schedule a session, send me a message or give me a call! | 434.906.0418 | photos@alijohnson.com
