As I mentioned in my last post, I love sports. I’ve played them my whole life. Softball, basketball, rugby, and… soccer.

The only team sport I still play today is soccer. I’ve been playing on an indoor co-ed recreational team the past 4 years, but starting today, I’ll be hitting the outdoor pitch again. Its been a long time, but I’m looking forward to having some room to run and pass. Indoor is a much faster paced form of soccer, for those unaware.

A good friend of mine, Faby Martin, is an amazing photographer. I met her while photographing Alberta Fashion Week last fall, along with a couple of other now good friends, Oscar Lopez and David Austin. Faby and I had been talking about doing a shoot for a while, so over the weekend, we finally got together.

What you may not know about me as a photographer is that I also like to model. I haven’t done a whole lot of it, but I have done it for various local and international photographers, and it has been fun every time. I find its a really great experience to switch roles every once in a while. Its a great reminder on how to communicate with models. While modeling, I usually end up thinking, “What would I say to me if I were directing this shoot, and how am I reacting to this photographers direction.”

Faby really wanted to do some action shots and I was all game for it. I really love her processing style and I think the images she created turned out really well. Click on the photo above to see the whole Soccer Player, A Story series, or just head on over to Faby’s website for a look at her entire portfolio.

    • Have decided that I no longer need @Adobe in my life. Nothing but frustration the past few months. Yes, it is you, not me. We're over.
