Side profile photo of an athlete on the Michigan Men’s Tennis team, standing and facing the left. Image shows athletes entire side profile while standing next to a pillar, with his right hand placed slightly below eye level in a relaxed manner. The athlete has a white towel placed draped over his left shoulder and is wearing a blue baseball hat with a yellow trim backwards. He is also wearing a blue t-shirt. Lighting from the top right of the frame forms a contrast on the athletes face and body and and creates visual emphasis on the subject (the athlete). The athletes eyes are looking upwards in the direction of the light. Overall composition has a cool tone and blue tint to the image.

In my photographic exploration, I aim to combine the excitement of sports with the technical elements of fine art photography. Through dynamic lighting, my image captures the mental determination of collegiate tennis player Nino Ehrenschneider, standing frozen in a moment of intense focus before his match. By blending the worlds of sports and fine art photography, I aim to evoke a visceral response, inviting viewers to appreciate the intersection of athleticism and creative expression.
