For the last several years, we have been lucky enough to film some feature portraits at the MLB All-Star Game. For sports fans, there is nothing better. It is always a fun but frenzied several days of prep work, set building, and pre-lighting in order to get ready for a barrage of the best baseball players in the world including Mike Trout, Jose Altuve, Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Matt Kemp and more. The players step in to the custom built set and in a matter of a few short minutes, they step out and it’s on to the next. This year there was a voting booth setup and the players were shown casting their All-Star votes. Director of Photography Jonathan Belinski shot using a set of Red Helium Cameras and Leica Summicron Prime lenses. This year the game is being played in Washington DC, the perfect backdrop for this iconic annual event.
