JD Martinez 🤝🏽 Franklin Pickleball

January 2024: I continued my work with the Franklin Sports brand. This time I made my way to Miami, Florida to shoot a collaboration with J.D. Martinez, 6-time MLB All-Star and World Series Champion, and the Franklin Sports pickleball FS Tour paddles.

This was a quick shoot on the pickleball courts at the Ives Estate Tennis Center in Miami, FL. I teamed with the Franklin Sports content team (creative direction, video and drone) to create stills to be used in conjunction with the launch.

Thank You!

A huge shoutout and thank you goes to my entire crew. A quick, efficient shoot is not easy and moves super-fast. I'm especially grateful for the guidance and leadership from Drew Gundlach and Mickey Howard from the Franklin Sports Creative Team.
