Backdrop is a gold and blue shimmer wall. Or possibly just gold. Lights on the wall for more shine and subject should pick up some kick. Overhead octa for hairlight and nice shadow direction/depth on jerseys. Beauty dish to light/shape the face and get under the hat. Softbox to fill in deeper shadows on face and body. Everything shot with a 50 at 1.2 (so wall really drops out except for color and shine) or maybe a 35, plus a star filter to make the shimmers really shine and refract for us. Mix of loose and tight looks. Maybe some sort of pedestal for players to stand on if we do full body.
