I am an athletic photographer, videographer, and editor based in Sewanee, TN and Mooresville, NC. With that, I am a college athlete studying biology and music. All of my work is approached with one thought in mind: how can I showcase an athlete's passion, drive, work-ethic, and uniqueness. I love being able to capture these moments where someone can be so in-the-zone without realizing it. The creative process is one that I consider rewarding as I am able to see the process all the way through, from an athlete's perspective.
One thing in particular that is unique to my brand of shooting is that all the athletic pictures and videos I take are free-of-charge for the athletic teams at my university (and my high school in the old days). This allows the athletes to have free access to their likenesses and be able to use them on whatever platform they desire. The big reason I am doing this is because many student-athletes did not have an opportunity to have their action shots taken in their high school, and being in a Division III program, many athletes don't have the greatest quality of pictures taken either.
I do not have formal education when it comes to photography and minimal education in both videography and editing both picture and video. All the techniques and little things I use are all self-taught (or at least learned from YouTube, ahem After Effects) and I have learned a lot in the past few years of taking pictures, but I still have much to learn and discover.
I plan to get into more portrait photography as well as landscape, architectural, and nature photography in the future (I'm experimenting with this already).
To all those who have supported me over the years, I thank you for everything you have provided me and I hope to continue serving you now and in the future.
As said above, athletic pictures for athletes and teams at Sewanee: University of the South are free and of no charge. If you are a team or athlete who does not fit that description or you want non-athletic pictures done, please use the button below to contact me for rates.
