I’ve made it to sunny Fort Myers, Florida, where the Red Sox have officially begun their 2016 Spring Training season. It’s been a busy but great first week shooting team workouts at JetBlue Park.
Right now, our goal is to stock up on images of as many of the players as we can, while also trying to make artistic, timely imagery that can be used on the team’s social media channels.
We’re also paying close attention to the various storylines happening each day, the biggest among them the beginning of the final season for Red Sox legend, David Ortiz.
