p.1 #1 · Squash.....really, WTF!

Got a call from the University's AD the other day. They needed some T&I for the squash team, yawn. Fortunately he let me have some creative control over the shoot. A few downfalls with this one though.
1 - no assistant, everyone was super busy today
2 - very, very, very little time
3 - very uncooperative coach
Anyways, here is what I cam up with in the 30 minutes I had to set up/shoot/teardown all on my own. C+C is more than welcome.

Great shots, Squash is a great game to bad coach wasn't cooperative because it could use all the press it can get.

These are awsome - the only thing that is bothering me is the nose shadow on the face of the 3rd from the right in the first pic. Other than that - great use of light and shadows!!

I would have liked a little more ambient on the first one so that you knew for sure they were on the court and had a little more hint of their surroundings.

Okay Rick, now these are awesome. Is that a fish or just a real wide lens? Regardless, very cool use of the flash, and damn, I have new respect for squash photography. Well done.

I like. Really different look, I'm sure the ambient was bad so flash was definitely the right choice.

And I've put you in my google reader....looking forward to more good stuff on your blog.

Boy I haven't played squash in 20 years - great sport however.

And personally I think these shots rock, especially for the time you had. Nitpicks of some shadowing on the group, but within time constraints, you did well.
