Last week I was blessed to be able to work with Oakland Community College and their athletic staff as we worked to capture portraits of the athletes. The athletes were awesome to work with! They were eager and excited to take the pictures! Here are a few from the shoot.
I recently was able to photograph the Detroit Pistons as they hosted the Chicago Bulls. It was a very exciting game and with just second left Derrick Rose made a three pointer over Greg Monroe to send the game into overtime. In overtime the Bulls came out on top 100-94. Here are a few images and be sure to check out the rest right here.
Last weekend I was blessed to be able to spend a few days in Holland, MI. Hope College was hosting the NCAA women’s division III Final Four basketball tournament. The weather that weekend was unbelievable! I was fortunate enough to have some free time to explore downtown Holland, which seemed to be a pretty cool town and hopefully I can go back one day to explore more.
Alright, down to the business now. The reason I was there was because once again, I was able to photograph the tournament for Amherst College. The Lord Jeffs were looking to defend their title from last year’s Final Four and they were also going for a perfect record with no losses in the 2011/2012 season and post season. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so. In the semi-final round they lost a very close game to George Fox, and in the consolation game they lost again to St Thomas (MN). The consolation game was a very emotional game for the seniors of the team being that it was their last game. Here are some photos…
March is an awesome time of year. We get to bump our clocks ahead an hour which means there is more sunlight in the evening, and that is something I love. It also means that we get an extra hour of sleep in the fall. I know it is tough now because we lose an hour, but just think of that hour you will get in the fall!
March also brings the greatest basketball there is. March Madness is just plain awesome! However, that means basketball is wrapping up and there won’t be much more basketball to shoot. This is something that I don’t like. For me, basketball is one of my favorite sports to photograph. I am not sure why though. Maybe it is because I played for three years in high school or maybe it is because I have photographed more basketball than any other sport. Whatever the reason is, I was blessed to be able to shoot three games in a little over twenty-four hours this past weekend. I photographed my last Oakland Community College basketball game for the year, which unfortunately was their last game also since they did not move on to nationals. The other two games were the Pistons’ games as they hosted Toronto and Atlanta .
Now that school has started back up I find myself shooting less and studying more. I don’t like it but just have to remind myself that it is for only 15 weeks. It also occurred to me that there are people in Nicaragua (and all over the world) that would love to go to college if only they could afford it. It made me realized that even though I dislike it so much, that I am truly blessed to be able to have this hardship of all the work and stress that college brings. Anyways, here is some recent work I was able to do, four basketball games in 30 hours.
This past weekend I was blessed to be able to once again head over to Michigan State in East Lansing. This time I was working for the University of Nebraska-Omaha as they took on Tom Izzo and the Spartans. UNO is in it’s first year of Division I basketball and this was their biggest game yet. Here are a few images from the game and be sure to check out the gallery.
This past week was a crazy one at that. Super busy but that is a good thing for sure. I started off on Black Friday shooting for Utah Valley University as they faced Oakland University. More of those pictures here. The last three games were for US Presswire. The 2nd game was the Nashville Predators at the Detroit Red Wings. More of those pictures here. The 3rd game I went to Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti. EMU was hosting Michigan State University. More of those pictures here. And lastly I went back to Rochester, MI to photograph Tennessee at Oakland University. Turned out to be a great game! More of those pictures here. Also, be sure to click on “Read More” to see more!
I recently had the great opportunity to travel over to East Lasning, MI and photograph the University of Arkansas Little Rock as they took on Michigan State University at the Breslin Center. I was glad to be able to shoot the game because basketball is one of my favorite sports to photograph. I was shooting for the UALR and also for US Presswire. The Spartans defeated the Trojans with a 69-47 victory.

For a long time I have been wanting to shoot some portraits of athletes so that I could add athletic portraits to my portfolio. I was not hired to take this. The reason why I did this is because you have to make your portfolio. We all need to get out there and just shoot! […]
I was able to photograph Oakland CC’s alumni basketball games yesterday. I was glad to do so. Basketball is one of the sports that I really like to shoot.
The present Raiders played the alumni. It was a good time. It was a fun environment, but also a very competitive environment. The men Raiders were not so fortunate. They lost the game to the alumni in a very close game, 81-78.
