What an exciting few weeks in the world of sports! To celebrate with all of the sport enthusiasts out there, this week’s weekly roundup includes photographers Andrew Klein, Daymon Gardner, and Jason Paige Smith, who have all shared recent sports-related pieces! Andrew had the opportunity to work with the creative team at Warstic, Daymon did a short college football series for ESPN, and Jason took on an older crowd in a self-assigned hockey project.
In Dallas, Texas:
Stepping up to bat was photographer Andrew Klein, who was asked to begin the creation of a still-life product series for the Warstic Pro Signature Bat collection. Founded by former minor league baseball player Ben Jenkins, and recently co-partnered by baseball enthusiast Jack White and Major League Player Ian Kinsler, Warstic prides itself on not only the amazing quality of their product, but on the beauty as well. This is why they turned to Andrew to start this ongoing brand identity series. Warstic knew Andrew would be able to bring his style and skill to their vast product line, whilst never dropping the ball.

In Normal, Oklahoma:
With a few years of experience working with ESPN, New Orleans-based photographer Daymon Gardner was asked to work on an exciting college football series for them. The goal was to shoot five standout players at their respective colleges, in a 4-6 week span. Each shoot included cover setups on white seamless and additional environmental portraits. After a lot of energy and coordination, the various shoots came together with a team of excellent crew and well-planned scheduling arrangements. The biggest challenge was to keep everything consistent between players and locations so that the spreads could work as a unit.
I loved meeting the players. They were all cooperative, gracious with their time, and had great personalities.

In Orono, Maine:
After lugging his son’s hockey equipment around to games, practices and events, photographer Jason Paige Smith began to notice how many people were still participating in the sport, despite their age. As a self-assigned project, Jason took it upon himself to look for players over the age of 60 who continue to enjoy hockey, and have for years. Jason enjoyed meeting everyone, and came to understand just how diverse this community of athletes truly was – between careers, families, and different lifestyles, he sought to recognize their unity through a series of striking black and white portraits.
Meeting all these people, and learning their stories and backgrounds was probably my favorite part of the whole project.
