in the spotlight....

This is a story about one of the top freshman basketball players in the country- Tony Wroten. It started out being about how such a talented young player handles the pressures of being the leader of the team and being such a hot player in the national spotlight.

As the story progressed, the amount of access we were promised diminished. So, with the limited access we ended up getting, our photographer kicked butt during an assignment and nailed about 7 super nice, different pictures that really added to the story and made the package so much stronger. It was a shame we couldn't use them all in the paper.

I love the main portrait. It has so much depth and feeling to it. I was worried that designers would see the "additional" space on the left of the picture and think it was Christmas morning. But luckily, there was nothing to worry about. The picture ran very nicely.
