Baskitan Project

Explore Baskitan, an ongoing photographic project by Richard James Daniels documenting the grassroots basketball culture of the Philippines. Through striking, atmospheric imagery, the series captures improvised courts, weathered backboards, and the communities that gather around them—revealing how the sport shapes daily life, identity, and local politics across the country. Spanning years of travel and over 500 documented locations, Baskitan offers a powerful visual study of resilience, creativity, and the enduring cultural significance of basketball.
