Portrait Photography: For the Love of Basketball

What's that something you like to do? What you use to do? What do you miss doing? There is something about connecting people to their inner passion.

I use to work with John and I got to know about his past when he use to play college basketball in New Orleans. Unfortunately, his time with basketball came to an end when he got injured. After graduating university, he ended up being a marketing coordinator / graphic designer for the Santa Cruz Warriors. Even when things don't go to plan, you can always be a part of what you're passionate in. In his case, it is basketball/sports.

I recently took John out to the courts to show me his passion in basketball.
