Soccer Portraits
Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to work with two very talented high school soccer players. Below you’ll see Sara Papantonio and Frances Harpole. Both Sara and Frances attend Gulf Breeze High School. When soccer is out of season at school they both play for travel clubs to stay fit. These two girls were awesome to work with and kept me laughing the whole shoot.

For any of your photo nerds wondering about the lighting setup, it was pretty simple, one light plus the sun as rim. Canon 7D, Sigma 17-24 f/2.8-4.0 Lens for all shots except the 2 close ups. Those were the Canon 70-200L f/4.0 nonIS lens. Lighting was Paul Buff Einstein 640ws with 47″ Octa Softbox triggered with Pocket Wizards.

Great work Matt! Nice mixture of light sources.
These are fantastic as always Matt! Great idea on the dirty up close portraits! Definitely draws you in. I’m sure they are super happy with the shoot.
So good. Your work is consistently stunning…I’m a big fan!
