Through the Lens with Aniyah: I have multiple reasons I decided to do a shoot like this with our boys basketball team. But the most important reason is because I wanted to test my limits and skills. I wanted to see if I can take a vision in my head and make it reality which is exactly what I did. I took inspiration from different types of sports photo shoots and put them all together to match the vision I had. I only started taking pictures last year for the team so I was skeptical about it. I was thinking I was in over my head but with some motivation from my media teachers those thoughts completely disappeared.
I tuned out all my thoughts and focused on my vision. And when I saw the lights hit the players I knew I made my vision a reality. They came out exactly how I hoped they would. I got help from Syeda, she supported my decisions and helped me with whatever I needed. I’m really glad how they came out and can’t wait to see what else I create in the future.
