Photographer, Kelly Kline, recently did a photoshoot for Under Armour with L.A. Clippers player DeAndre Jordan and made a short behind-the-scenes video for rest of us to enjoy. At just a minute and half long, it’s short and sweet, but Kline still manages to give viewers a brief overview of what she was hoping to capture.

With only three hours to work with the car before it was sent off to the racetrack, Benny originally planned for the shoot to happen outside, but mother nature had other plans.
