SIDELINE SCHOOL
Rituals: hair, the bow, the wait
The car ride, hair and the bow, the walk to the mat, the treat after.
How to shoot it
- Step 1
Hair and the bow at home
The ponytail, the bow, the glitter. It happens at home in good light, and it changes every year.
- Step 2
The line before the mat
Warm-up rooms are usually closed to parents, so shoot the walk in and the squad lined up before the mat. The nerves look different every year.
Pro tip
The nerves before the mat are worth a frame.
