Sports Portraits
Chana Mirel is a patient sports portrait photographer serving Columbia, MD athletes in her private studio. Sportraits are studio portraits in uniform, lit like professional athlete features, not on-field action shots.
How the shoot runs
I bring the lights and the backdrop. You bring the uniform, any props (helmet, bat, ribbon, glove, ball), and a variation outfit if you have one. Home jersey plus away jersey, for example. We cycle through looks and I pose as we go.
Sessions run about forty-five minutes. Any sport works. Dance and gymnastics look especially good on clean backdrops because the uniform is already the focal point.
The style
I call the style sports glam. Clean studio backdrops with the option of editorial overlay treatments when families want them — the kind of finished look that ends up on team walls, in college application packets, and framed on grandparents' shelves.
Team group sessions are also on offer. Send me the sport, the roster, and roughly when you want to book. I'll quote a group session based on how many kids are in it.
