REFLECTION: For my photo essay I chose my theme to be basketball and some of my pictures led up to an actual shot being taken and the environment that surrounds a player while on that court. I took these photographs at the old auditorium in the school after school one day with my friend. I selected this topic because basketball is my favorite sport and one of my best hobbies I really enjoy. This sport is very important to me because I don't know where I'd be if I never picked up a ball. The concept I am trying to portray is the feel for someone that is actually on the court and how they see everything. The order of my photos starts off with the main components of the sport then slowly goes to someone shooting the ball and showing it from their point of view. To visually unify all my photos , I kept to the theme of basketball and made sure every photo could relate to each other.
