On-court photography from this era has always blown me away. I spend a lot of time looking at old Michael Jordan shots.

I’m not sure exactly what it is or what’s changed since then, but the colors and details in these shots are absolutely insane.
I get that film is what makes these colors pop so much, but the composition on these is just as crazy impressive to me. It’s wild.
If I ever get the chance to shoot a basketball game again, I’d like to try film and see just how hard I fail 😂
Went back thru Getty so I could added in the names of the photographers for each of these photos bc credit is v important.

In order:

1. Scott Cunningham (legend)
2. Andrew Bernstein (legend)
3. Andrew Bernstein
4. Scott Cunningham
