This image plays on the concept with backdrops. With the volleyball sitting on the red cloth, the light reflects the red onto the ball. Shooting from the top of the ball gives this appearance. If the shot was taken from the bottom of the ball, the light would have reflected differently. It was difficult to get the shot because of the lighting that was originally in the room. The room had harsh lighting which needed to be dealt with because it looked bright to the eye, but the camera could not catch the light.
This image was taken using a motion blur concept. The photographer circled the ball to blur the wood. The ball, however, remained in focus, thus allowing it to pop. The motion allows the grain in the wood to blur together allowing the image to look as if it was digitally altered with. This doesn't work because the blurriness of the grain and edge of the ball can make the audience dizzy. It took a large number of shots to be able to achieve the blurred effect.
This image plays on angles and light. It was taken without the flash. This allows the light to bounce off the ball, but not the background, making it dark. The audience's eye is drawn to the ball and not distracted by anything in the background. It is also taken at a low angle. This allows the light to reflect in different ways. Had the photo been taken from above, the light would have been behind the photographer, where in this photo the light is behind the subject.
