Venice Beach Basketball Photography Print

Venice Beach, CA

There’s so much more to basketball than what happens on the court. The culture around the game, what it inspires, how it looks, and where it shows up is just as powerful as the game itself.

This hoop, hanging in a Venice Beach alleyway and built from scrap materials, is part of that culture. It’s not just a place to shoot, it’s a piece of functional art. Handmade. Improvised. Rooted in creativity and love for the game by Nick Ansom; the creator of the Venice Basketball League

Basketball has always found its way into public space, design, fashion, music and art. This photograph is part of a long-term series documenting those quiet, off-the-beaten-path expressions of the sport that Ansom has so generously dedicated his life to.

In my opinion there is no better medium to print and display fine art photographs on. Its surface is smooth with a subtle texture, and a slightly warm base that produces very pleasing B&W prints reminiscent of platinum prints and meets the highest industry standards regarding density, color gamut, color graduation, and image sharpness while preserving the special touch and feel of genuine art paper.
