rick123 Posted December 11, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, My wife & I like to include a photo of our now teenage son with our Christmas card that we mail out. Our son has developed a love of tennis. Any ideas for setting up a pose & background? Thanks! Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_reid Posted December 11, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2006 This just reflects my own approach but I'd suggest perhaps just photographing him during an actual game and choosing the strongest picture from that set. Cheers, Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted December 11, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 11, 2006 A trick I learned from Brent: While he's warming up for a set, snap a few "test shots" to keep him from being self-conscious...and you should be good to go.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted December 11, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 11, 2006 Well you could take a different approach and make it a touch formal have two others playing in the background and have him on his one knee on the corner of the court holding his racquet looking at the camera . More a posed style but relates to what he likes to play. Something to think about but playing also is really nice , like a nice serve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted December 11, 2006 Share #6 Posted December 11, 2006 Something to think about but playing also is really nice , like a nice serve ... and in PS you could replace the tennis ball with a plum pudding as a Christmas novelty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
