This weekend, Major League Baseball held it’s first ever Player’s Weekend. The initiative allowed for players to wear nicknames on their jerseys, and use custom made bats, gloves, cleats, etc. to showcase their individual personalities.
I was asked to shoot formal portraits of several players on both the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles to showcase the uniforms. Here is a gallery with a few of those.
