Tap Room Podcast 39: Sports Photography

SPORTS
PHOTOGRAPHY Tampa Bay

You are an athlete! You practice day in, day out all year long. Why wouldn’t you want to capture images that are just as unique as you are. At Taylor Art Photos, we’ve added Sports Photography into the composite imagery world. So what does this mean?

For the athlete, it means merging digital elements together to create something unique and new creates a sport composite. Recently, I was approached by a high school and they wanted new imagery for the Volleyball team. I ended up setting up a edgier design that the team loved and pushed the teams pictures to a new creative design. I brought the studio to the gym before their game day and worked with each player. Each athlete went through some new poses and they each had several images to from their session. This was also used to create the team picture.

The unique piece of this style of editing, with each image done individually the team can be adjusted if someone isn’t able to make it for a part of the team picture. This also means in scheduling, the entire team doesn’t have to wait for everyone at the same time and is more efficient.

If you are looking for quality sports composites in Tampa, you can expect the following:

• A mobile studio photo session for your team. The studio will come to you and includes lighting, backdrops and you supply the space required to do composite portrait shooting (usually a high school gym).

• A typical shoot with around 20 players takes about two hours, I don’t rush and want to make sure each image has the poses required for the finished photos.

• We’ll work together to incorporate your school colors, logos and athletes names if desired.

Whether you are in Cheer, Dance, Gymnastics, Football, Soccer, Tennis, Baseball, Basketball, Swim, Band, Orchestra, Choir, Softball, Lacrosse, Rugby, Weightlifting, Wrestling, Fitness, Art, Music, Golf, Track, Volleyball, Cross County, or Hockey, we can create custom composites for you!
