Jackson stopped by the studio to celebrate the end of an amazing football season with a portrait session. I’ve been eager to create new samples for elevated sports portraits—beyond the quick headshots taken on media day. This session allowed me to use creative lighting, smoke effects, and dynamic angles, all in a short amount of time.
The dramatic “fire shot” was enhanced using Photoshop. While there’s a trend of using real flames in sports portraits, I believe incredible results can be achieved without introducing unnecessary risks. These techniques can work beautifully for all sports. If you’re interested in capturing something similar, let me know.
A big thank you to Jackson for participating and letting me use his photos as examples. I’m excited to add this style to my offerings.
