adidas Basketball - Andy Batt photographs the Pros -
I was invited by adidas Basketball to be a member of their SUPERSHOOT team this summer - a chance to photograph some of the best players in the game. The images just went live at the adidas.com site, and in retail outlets, so I can now share a portfolio of them with you. These are my selects, and my retouching. In order of appearance: Kevin Garnett/Boston Celtics; Tony Allen/Boston Celtics; Jordan Farmar/LA Lakers; Jason Kapono/Toronto Raptors; Jerry Stackhouse/Dallas Mavericks; Daequan Cook/Miami Heat; Dwight Howard/Orlando Magic; Josh Smith/Atlanta Hawks; Tim Duncan/San Antonio Spurs; Tracy McGrady/Houston Rockets. These guys were all amazingly cool to photograph - they had fun, they gave me enough time to get great shots and were professionals to the core.

Shooting for adidas in Rio de Janeiro

I have been working on a portfolio of my edits from Brasil - it's been a blast going through this work again. So many great shots in such a short amount of time. I've been working on a new look for this portfolio as well-this image is part of that effort. I'm trying for something that's a little gritty and intense, but also has a refined split tone look. I should add I'm loving the release version of Adobe's Lightroom - a very aptly named product as I haven't had this much fun experimenting with look and feel since my chemical days processing B&W prints.
