John Balsom, Photographer, London

Description

This sports photography captured by John Balsom focuses on the lower halves of a group of basketball players standing on a dark indoor court with white boundary lines. The athletes wear matching white athletic shorts featuring distinctive black panels, red accents, and printed player numbers including 7, 10, 3, and 12. They sport white crew socks and athletic sneakers with black and white uppers accented by gold swoosh branding. One player wears beige knee supports visible beneath the hem of the shorts. The direct flash lighting creates sharp definition on the figures against the dark playing surface.
