Quick Slant
For this week's installment of my concentration, I focused on one of the largest sports currently played in America: football. This was a sport that was hiding in plain sight for me throughout this process, and I'm glad I finally got the chance to document this impressive athletic feat. My model, Noah Pittenger, and I met at the grass field adjacent to the Brophy football field to run some drills, and more importantly, take some photos. After warm ups and the arrival of our quarterback, Caleb Moore, we were ready to start. With my tripod and remote set up and my camera settings set and on burst mode, I had Noah run some quick slants and catch passes as I fired away shots. I finally had the desired batch after 5-6 trials and began editing. In editing, I layered and masked all of the photos together in Photoshop, and then in Lightroom was able to crop, adjust colors, and add whites and highlights to Noah to make him pop from the scene.
I believe this photo fits into my concentration by using a series of images layers together into one composite image to show the progression of an athletic action. Although this is an altered reality shown in the image, the action did actually occur. This photo uses colors, space, and perceived motion to create an altogether aesthetic image.
