I’ve been itching to do a basketball photoshoot for years. Ever since I saw some really, really good photos from NBA teams whilst travelling in the States and thinking…”Hey I could Do That!”

I could beat around the bush, but I will get to the point. If you are a professional basketball player or team and interested in having NBA quality PR photos doing then that is what I am offering FREE! The only catch is that you need to be reasonably near where I live in Surrey as my studio is mobile.

I specialise in capturing dynamic action and much of my work has been within the martial arts and action/screenfighter sectors. I also provide a whole range of high impact PR photos within my photoshoots so static headshot, torso, full length, ground action, aerial action etc.

There are massive similarities between aerial kicking in martial arts which I am particularly skilled at capturing and aerial leaps and slamdunks in basketball. This is from a photographic perspective as both require very precise lighting and also clicking the shutter at the single best point.

From looking around at basektball photos in the UK I see that they tend to lack impact, they are usually well photographed and evenly lit but this is more suited to taking photos of children and pets than highly trained athletes. Some shots of mine below that might be cool to do with basketball players from a lighting and an action capture perspective.

So what is the deal. Well I bring my professional mobile studio down to your basketball facility (indoors preferably with mains power). We shoot for as long as you like in the evening and then you get all the photos as high res images to use for marketing and pr wwebsites etc all free of charge.

All you need to do is bring your skills!

I dont mind if its one person, a few or a whole team.
