2012 NY Mets Portraits at Spring Training for SportsNet NY
It’s been a great opening week for the team at Citi Field (and Santana’s back on the mound!) and we can now show you the portraits we took in March in Port St. Lucie FL at Spring Training. As always it’s great working with our client at SportsNet NY (SNY) and The Mets which use the photos during game broadcasts for player intros, etc. This is our fourth year shooting the team at Spring Training, where we set up a studio in the visiting team’s locker room and shoot all the players at 7am on “Picture Day” in 90 minutes.
Our assignment is to capture a different side of the players from straight sports photography–this year SNY’s art director asked for a split-face shot for their on-screen use. Click here to see photos of David Wright, Johan Santana, Ike Davis, Manny Acosta, Daniel Murphy, R.A. Dickey, Mike Pelfrey, Ruben Tejada, Miguel Batista, former ’86 Met and 3rd base coach Tim Teufel…and others. To see photos from our shoots from 2011, 2010 and 2009, click here! Take a look and root for them in their 50th season!!

2011 New York Mets for SportsNet NY
Happy Opening Day! Wonderful to be working with the New York Mets again for the third year…and this time in color! The images are shot early morning on Photo Day during Spring Training in Port St. Lucie. We’re the last stop on the players’ photo tour of all the media outlets and have a studio set up in the visiting team’s locker room. The players are warm, friendly, and fun to shoot! It’s a fast shoot with 1-2 minutes per player. The first shot was at 7:45 am and the last at 9:30, so an hour and 15 minutes to shoot 60 players…definitely an adrenaline rush! This year we went for a more serious set of photos but I can’t help snapping when the players crack a smile! SportsNet NY integrates these images into their television video clips among other uses by them and the Mets.
Thanks again to Julie, the SNY producer, who’s been a great on- and off-set partner in creating these images and took a chance on us three years ago as non-sports photographers!
