I’ve only known about Pickleball for about a year, but it’s been around since the late '60s. Today, Pickleball, a hybrid of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, is the fastest-growing sport in America.
For this new portfolio image, I wanted to reflect on its heritage with a playful color scheme. I created two swirls out of paper to convey the movement of the ball as it’s volleyed back and forth. The composition and lighting also aim to create a youthful, energetic and joyful impression.
Sport images often show an ideal athlete, striking for peak performance and results. My intention here was to share the vibrant energy and humor which make Pickleball such a popular and addictive sport.
