Making photographs at spring training can be frustrating.
The monotony and repetition of baseball practice make every day feel the same. There are so many people around, too, so making a clean photograph with a clean background is half the challenge.
I’m tasked with making new and useful photographs to illustrate The Enquirer’s coverage and make readers feel like they are here (and hopefully feel a little warmer).
Yesterday, The Enquirer's Reds beat writer Bobby Nightengale was writing a story on pitcher Michael Lorenzen’s pitch velocity, and I wondered: How can I best illustrate the story while still achieving my goal of a clean photograph that’s not so busy?
