NBPA - Charlotte Hornets
Ahead of the 23’-24’ season, Unify captured portraits of the Charlotte Hornets during the team’s media day on behalf of the National Basketball Players’ Association. We ran through a handful of action, tight, and wide shots with each player to match the NBPA’s production guidelines for independent crews across the league.
