Last week I was able to photograph all the team portraits and individual portraits for the Oakland Community College Raiders men’s and women’s basketball team. We had two different setups for this shoot. We moved through the first one and then switched to the second setup. Be sure to read on and see the setups. Enjoy!

Earlier this week I found myself at The Palace of Auburn Hills as the Milwaukee Bucks were in town taking on the Detroit Pistons. This was my last Pistons game for the season.  The season flew by so fast and I am looking forward to getting back on the court in a few months.  Here are some of the images from the evening. Enjoy!

Recently the University of Toledo was hosting the first and second rounds of the NCAA’s Women’s Basketball Tournament. When I saw that the Vanderbilt Commodores would be heading up from Nashville, TN, I sent a quick email to the SID at Vandy. Over the years I have had the opportunity to build up a relationship with the athletic staff there. In the past I have gotten to know the SID through covering the NCAA Bowling Championship for them in 2013 and 2011. So, when he said he needed a photographer, I was glad to be able to have another opportunity to work with them once again.

Monday morning I received an email from my editor asking if I was interested in covering the Horizon League Tournament championship game the next day. I was open and thought it would be a great chance to shoot some college basketball, something that I don’t shoot that often. With little time to waste, I had to plan my trip. Luckily I was able to find a hotel nearby that was not already booked full for the night. I made the trip down to Dayton, OH and arrived early to check into my hotel. After checking in, I made my way over to Wright State University. The game was held at WSU’s Nutter Center in Dayton. The Wright State Raiders were hosting the Milwaukee Panthers in this important match up, with the winner guaranteed a spot in the big dance. Here are some of the images from Milwaukee’s win. Enjoy!

Earlier this week I was able to shoot Sophomore Night for the Oakland Community College athletic department. Wayne County Community College District was in Auburn Hills to take on the Raiders. The first game was the women’s game and then the men were set to play after. The two schools ended up taking one game each, with the men winning by a basket in the last few seconds. Here are some unique perspectives I came up with and a few game action shots.

Please note that you can click on any of the picture to see more images from the game. Enjoy!

Last night the San Antonio Spurs were going up against the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. With the recent firing of the Detroit Pistons head coach Maurice Cheeks, I wanted to arrive extra early to make sure I was able to get a few pictures of the interim head coach John Loyer before the game. With that here are some of the pictures from the game. Enjoy!
