Emotions during the game: Andres Ortiz

For this documentary project I decided to capture the different emotions during a couple games in baseball. These emotions that I captured are very raw and real which is what I like most about these. I was able to capture these photo's sitting out of my game due to injury and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to take these. I have a wide variety of different emotions that happen throughout a game.

This photo captures a determining, focus that the picture has while he is  about to throw a pitch to the opposing batter.

After hitting a weak ground ball in a close game you can see how the runner almost looks as if he is running for his life to get to the base.

After number 7 (Mike Fish) hits a homerun, baserunner 6 (Vinny Citro) is ecstatic and overjoyed to score.

After getting his 3rd straight hit, number 28 (Brian Fay) showed a bit of cockiness and confidence on the bases. 

After a horrible strike call from the umpire, you can see the anger with the players in the dugout.

This is a photo of a pitcher who struggled to throw strikes, and he has a pessimistic expression as he waits for the umpire to make a call.

This shows a player after he struck out for the 2nd time in the game. He is one of our better players, so you can see his disappointment and defeat he had in this game. 

Rather than the emotions in the other picture, this shows that he has great trust in his ability and confidence.

This is a picture of a player who is in the game very focused, watching the opposing pitcher warm-up.

Here is a hitter using his whole strength to hit the baseball and you can see his face is almost going to explode.

I captured this photo of our coach who is walking away from the umpire after another awful call. You can see the disgust on his face.
