Contrast Photography: Professional Photography

We had the opportunity to work with the 210 Vikings over the weekend. The Vikings are a new organization, and they are “officially” a division of the Patuxent Rhinos Football and Cheer, Inc.

We really like working with new clubs, despite the fact that most of the kids have
played the sport before, many of the volunteers are new to organized football and it’s nice to work with them before it’s all about “championships”.

Here’s a sneak peak at the shoot from the day..

If you are a Viking parent and your son is involved with any other sports, give us a call at 888-726-3336, Ext 3. We’d love to work with you. No organization is too big or too small.

We finished up the team and individual portraits for the Patuxent Rhinos tonight. After we ran out of daylight a few weeks ago I decided that we definitely wanted to photograph the remaining athletes indoors as well. I loved the look and it was a nice departure from what we typically produce.

Again, I used the Nikon SB-900 speed light as the main light (camera left), and in the third image there’s an additional SB-800 just off the players right hip lighting up the lockers. I love using Nikons Creative Lighting System to produce creative portraits like these.

Honestly, we feel this is what separates us from the “competition”. At the end of the day, isn’t this supposed to be about great pictures and great memories? When you partner with Contrast Photography, we take care of all that. Send us an email to see how other Organizations can benefit from working with us…

We covered the 2008 Patuxent Rhinos Homecoming at James Madison Middle School in Clinton, Maryland. We shot 8 (or 9 depending on the light and how tired I was) games today while the kids and parents enjoyed face painting, moon bounce, $50 Gas Card Raffles, and….FOOD!!

You’ll find all the pictures at the Contrast Photography Photo Store.

UPDATE: We shot 3307 pictures today!!! WOW!!!

UPDATE: ALL THE PHOTOS ARE ONLINE!!!

Later in the day, there was quite a bit of confusion as there were several people on the field with cameras. The professionals at Contrast Photography always wear yellow polo-style shirts. We were NOT the guy walking around trying to sell you a “phat head” ®. Yes, we also offer a “wall cling” type of product, in sizes up to 48×72 (6 feet tall), our products are VERY HIGH QUALITY produced by PROFESSIONAL photographers using PROFESSIONAL equipment (camera, printers, etc) and we back our products with out 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and a combined 35 years of experience.
