Before and After: Through the Eyes of a Professional Hockey Player
I recently got the chance to come back to Cedar Park to shoot more photos of the Texas Stars. If you remember a few months back, I posted these Behind The Scenes photos. This time is a little different take on that, but still has a “Behind The Scenes” feel to it.
I got to Cedar Park about 3:45 pm to get setup because the players start showing up about 4:30 pm for the 7 pm puck drop. I photographed each player as they walked in and then we moved the whole setup closer to the ice for the post-game photo. I knew I wanted to make it quick and easy for them, so I only took about 10 photos of each player. They stood in front of my camera for maybe 8-10 seconds and then were on their way to get ready for the game. The Texas Stars ended up beating the Lake Erie Monsters 4-0 at this game with Matt Fraser scoring twice and Mike Hedden and Luke Gazdic each adding a goal and an assist.

Amazing: Some are SO different and some have EXACTLY the same expression. In both cases, interesting shooting.
Wow. They all look so professional before and after some of them look happy since they won 4-0 then. Very sweaty though hahaha.
I loved this! I dig the style of the photography like a model’s headshot or something. Kind of has a glamorous feel that really accentuates their features… or they all just have really strong features anyway
love the juxtaposition of the two.
