Sports Photography Session to be Used for Composite Imaging

Photographing athletes is exciting, but it can also be a challenge. To help create powerful, crisp images of the South Carolina Gamecocks football team, photographer James Quantz, Jr. decided the best plan of action would be to work with composite imaging. Using an assortment of studio lighting on location at the arena, Quantz ran the athletes through a variety of poses. Take a look at the video below for some behind the scene footage:
