I got a call from a basketball coach that I’ve known for a few years. I met him when he coached at a local high school. He is now running the successful Cagers Basketball Academy in Vancouver, WA. Greg needed photos produced for his brochure and website. One of the programs he offers utilizes Basketball Strength Shoes. The athletes go through a number of drills while wearing the Strength Shoes. Below is one of the images we created. To visit the Cagers Basketball Academy click here!

Strobing Indoor Sports

Anyone that has tried to shoot sports at indoor venues knows how hard it is to make good images. The lighting is normally very limited. To overcome the lack of light, photographers use camera bodies with high ISO capabilities and fast lenses. An alternative would be to use a flash. The problem with on-camera flash is that images look very flat and 2 dimensional.

This week I decided to strobe some wrestling and basketball. In the old days, we set up 4 studio strobes at indoor venues. The set-up was a bit time consuming. Jordan and I were short on time so we used two lights (Nikon SB800). Set-up was very quick and we were able to use an ISO of 800 rather than 3200.

Here are 2 example images.
