Jason Giambi Cover Shoot

July 21, 2010

Often portraits, especially those slated for a cover, can be well involved productions with lights, assistants, and location scouting. For the Colorado Rockies first baseman, Jason Giambi, the concept for the August cover was kept relatively simple. One light source, that being the afternoon sun and a reflector to add the fill. The editors at the magazine wanted a final image that had a black and white documentary feel while utilizing the steel beams of Coors Field as a way to describe Giambi’s strength. Keep checking back as there will be a post soon about the more complex shoots described earlier. As always, thanks for looking.

High School Baseball

July 15, 2010

Gorgeous light, sunflower seeds, cheers from behind home plate, and to top it all off used peanut shells as a scoreboard. All this packaged with photographer access that would rival the most trusting of subjects describes the Colorado Rockies sponsored Reviving Baseball in Inner City leagues or better know as RBI. There are over 200 of these Major League Baseball funded teams throughout the nation and roughly 525 kids ages 13-18 in Denver alone. This summer league comes at no cost and carries the goal of getting kids out to combat the affects of gangs and drugs within larger cities.

Seasonal Light

As the Colorado Rockies season meets its halfway point the light starts to bend and shape just about everything within the gates. Below is a sampling of the light from photographer Jamie Schwaberow during his coverage of the Rockies vs. Red Sox series a couple of weeks ago. Stay tuned because the light is always changing.

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies hosted the Toronto Blue Jays in a rain soaked three game home stand this past weekend at Coors Field in Denver,Colorado. Jamie Schwaberow and myself had the opportunity to wait out the rainstorms while making pictures.
