What is a sports portrait or athlete portrait?

A Sports Portrait is generally created for an athletes personal portfolio or produced to showcase an athletes skills/marketing ability and to attract sponsors. It is aimed at elite athletes aspiring to professional and/or college level sports.

• to discuss how the images intend to be used

Action Shoot (optional)
