Photographer Blair Bunting shares that to the surprise of many, photographing athletes doesn’t always mean you are a sports photographer.

can accentuate it. In many ways, my lack of interest in sports has given me the advantage of not getting starstruck by any of their accomplishments. But how does it work when the person you’re photographing is a model and doesn’t exactly play the sport that you need them to portray?

We knew that with an extensive light setup , the highlights would carry the image to the viewer with hard angles making for a lot of crossing lines in the frame to capture them. Being on set was more like watching a dance being choreographed than a sports-based shoot. We had marks on the floor for everything from counterpoint for light metering to take off and landing spots so that the model was stretched enough to sell the motion.

As far as the action in front of the camera, being in a closed studio and coaching a model to the positioning allows a photographer to worry. All too often with professional athletes, they go into a form that they are familiar with but is very fast, and can only be frozen by cameras with extreme shutter sync speeds. With this production we had the model essentially freeze in the action at a point where there was a bit of a delay.
