Basketball hoops can be found everywhere and are accessible to people from all walks of life. Half Court - Full Court is created using in-camera multiple exposure photography and explores the sport’s surrounding environment by providing an otherwise impossible view of both basketball hoops simultaneously. Over the past few years I have photographed all types of courts, including ones at neighborhood parks, community recreation centers, grass courts, and at schools. This ongoing project has resulted in a portfolio of images that highlight the remarkable diversity of settings for a game that unifies people worldwide.
