What I really want to emphasize on this (in terms of practicality) is the importance of having a "shot list"!. I made one with 6 different types of shots in my mind. Since I had a very good working understanding of the game cricket, I knew how dynamic and reflexive its movements can be (for those who are not familiar with this sport please read this first). This understanding is a must for making an effective shot list which will be easier to execute as well as easier to instruct to the players. Furthermore, it makes you think about each type of shot beforehand and thus makes the shoot easier and much more smoother. The shots in this case were selected to reflect some of the physical attributes of the game as well as to dramatize some parts of the game.
Unfortunately on the day of the shoot, due to a delay of some players, the whole shoot was cut down to about 45 mins. Therefore I had to pick/prioritize my shot list and thus decided to go with 3 shot types. One that would take a little time to do and two others which will take less time and effort (relatively). Here, I did encounter some technical difficulties during the process but was able to avoid them and move forward. The guys who showed up for the shoot were amazing to work with and were prepared to perform over and over again with unbelievable enthusiasm. I hope the end results will be a just reward to them for their efforts.
Below are a sample of the results of this shoot. Please do note that all the pictures here are copyrighted. Please feel free to comment and share your thought about the pictures and also to share this post with anyone interested in Photography.
Thanks a lot.
