I am looking for cool theme ideas for a high school basketball team calendar shoot....for example a local university did one where the players were around a bulldozer and they wore construction clothes and hardhats and this HS coach wanted to do something unique as well, then put the schedule and maybe some advertising space on it too. Not sure of the size yet, he just stated a "mini-poster". He'd like the poster to still carry the same look (external link)as what I do for my composites I do for the schools.

So, just picking your creative sides on ideas for this. Thanks in advance.

Wow. This is a role reversal. Usually I troll YOUR site (truly outstanding photos and graphics) for ideas and inspiration!
Do you know the team's mascot? Might help with ideas.
Also, is this for boys, girls, both?

Lol!...thank you. Having a creative brain freeze. Mascot is wolves and it's varsity boys.

Sounds ripe for a deep woods type theme.
Maybe a background based on something like these...
Forest 1 (external link)
Forest 2 (external link)
Forest 3 (external link)

Nice dramatic side/rim lighting for the player portraits.
Just a thought.

Your area should have some great train yards/industrial locations.

Thanks!....makes sense for that theme.

Since this is new territory for me in this area, here's another brain-picker regarding price structure:

This is my idea: I was thinking a 16x20 poster which I can have printed for around $9 each (incl. s/h). Considering we don't know how these will sell at the home games, and this is a very small school, I was thinking of having 20 or so printed and sell each for $20 each and perhaps solicit 4-6 businesses to advertise on them for the season @ $100 per ad.

I don't want to get stuck with a slew of extra poster at the end of the season....any thoughts? How would anyone else do this..or have done this?
