Cover shot planning

Today, Bradley and I went to the high school baseball field to take some practice photographs for the cover shot. The purpose of the planning was see what the shots would look like and where the subject should be in the frame. We were not dressed in uniform.We took a series of shots with different actions taking place and different angles were experimented with for each shot. One shot was a 3/4 shot of Bradley in his batting stance, looking at the pitcher, ready to swing. Another shot was a full body of him after he has swung the bat and he is looking at the ball in the air. Another shot, my most favorite, was Bradley robbing a baseball at the wall. To get this shot i had him stand on a chair near the wall and lean against the wall like he was robbing a home run. All of these photos have action that is quite exciting in the game of baseball. Batting can be one of the most exciting aspects of baseball due to the sheer power that some hitters have. Robbing a home run is a near impossible feat to pull off, but when players do it, the crowd goes crazy! Using photos with such great intensity and focus can pull the reader in more because these aspects of baseball are some of the most exciting for baseball fans to see.
