2024 St. John Bosco Hockey Photo Day
Funky one here. This was part of the Reign Deal and we actually shot this one first, on January 5th at KHS. What’s funny is I rarely shoot AT Bosco but I was actually there for 3pm soccer this same day and had to leave to make it to KHS in time for this shoot. We had to shoot this in the snack bar/kitchen that was being remodeled. We finished pretty quick and while packing up we were told we couldn’t be in there. Nothing is easy. Anyway, this was a bust and I could sense it at the time. It’s as if we surprised the team by asking them to take pictures. A couple moms were there and they were into it, but the players without moms couldn’t have cared less. I was behind a few of them as they walked in and overheard them saying how stupid this all was. I powered through. I got nine mostly small orders and one of those was just a button. The take was hardly compensating for the time it takes to put that team photo together. Since they were playing Villa Park, Sean and I stayed and shot the game. I have no idea if I’ll ever get to process that game, very low priority at this point. I love the colors and the look of both banner styles. The very next day I got a yearbook group email wanting team photos and headshots, too soon on the back of bust. One kid was missing from this initial shoot and didn’t make it up until 1/27, ! guess he wasn’t aware he was holding up the yearbook! I always take these first time team shoots with a little salt. I’m confident they loved the result and next year they’ll call and kids will be more into it. That’s how it happens. :) Here’s the gallery (CLICK). B
