NYC Basketball Court Photography
There’s nothing like a basketball court in New York City. From the iconic cages of West 4th Street to a beat-up hoop in the Bronx tucked between apartment buildings, they are some of the most iconic courts with a character all their own. They’re loud, gritty, full of energy, and they carry decades of stories in their cracked paint and chain nets.
The NYC courts in these photographs aren’t so famous, but each one says something about the rhythm of the city and the people who ball in it. Whether you're working on a creative project that calls for authentic New York visuals or you’re looking for wall art that captures the soul of the city’s basketball culture, this series was made for that. The photographs are available as high-resolution files for licensing and as fine art prints for collectors and fans of the game.
New York basketball has always had its own style—fast, creative, tough. These courts are where that style lives, even when no one’s playing.

Emmanuel Mudiay
Emmanuel Mudiay just went #7 overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, and is now the newest member of the Denver Nuggets. I had the opportunity to shoot with his last month in LA for Under Armour. If you pay attention to hoop, you've probably seen all his "Life changes after the draft" commercials. Funny spots.Anyway, he's a good kid, and was fun to shoot with. Seemed very mature for his age, and handled all of his responsibility well. These shots below are from the 34th St. Foot Locker in New York City. It's always cool to see your stuff used like this.
