Jimmy Rollins




Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies:

This image captures Rollins turning a double play. The concept plays on the fact that he owns a music label and has been involved in the music industry. The lighting effects and simplified color palette convey a club & concert like atmosphere. Eventually, I will have flashbulbs that are popping in the stands to lend weight to the moment as an event (like the Super Bowl) and to provide more sparkle to the scene. The viewer is positioned in a lower vantage point, conveying importance to the figure rising up and over them. The decision to angle the scene adds to this positive upward movement and creates more dynamic paths through the image.
