From the launch,
every stroke

Rowing is what I know best — clubs, colleges, juniors and masters, most of it shot from the launch. I also photograph other sports, graduations, portraits and brand work.

The approach

The narrow margins of sport

I shoot effort the way it is actually felt — the catch before the drive, the held breath before the whistle, the quiet minute after a name is read aloud. Every booking starts with a conversation, not a shutter.

Grad portraits and brand work get graded to your vision, not a house preset. Slide through the looks — if you already have a reference in mind, send it with your inquiry.

ABOUT

I look for the
art, not
the score

I have photographed and filmed sport since my freshman year of high school and am entering my senior year of college. My work is built on a cinematic approach to athletics: I am looking for the composition and the light in a race, not only the motion and the result.

I work with clubs, collegiate programs, juniors and masters alike. Most of my rowing coverage is shot from the launch, with regatta work from the shore, and I document the full arc of a race day — boathouse and dock, the warm-up, the racing itself. Rowing remains an under-documented sport. As a Division I coxswain who has been in the boat since seventh grade, I understand the effort the sport asks for and how to photograph it credibly.

On the water, the sideline, or at the boathouse — I work quietly and stay out of the way.
