Editorial Portrait Photography: NFL Rookie Premiere for Panini America
Editorial Portrait Photography: Things have sort of come full circle….. when I was a teenager my best friend introduced me to his family past time, meeting professional athletes and getting their autograph. This kind of went hand in hand with collecting trading cards. Both of which were my primary hobby until I fell in love with photography.
A little more than 20 years later I found myself creating portraits of the top NFL draft pics for their rookie football cards.

I love creating videos that showcase manufacturing. Visually speaking, the movement of machines creates an elegant ballet that looks great on film.

Sports Photography – Chicago Marathon: T2
This weekend I photographed the Chicago Marathon for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago’s Team to End AIDS (T2). It was a fun experience finding just over 130 runners in a sea of 45,000. At first I thought it was going to be a difficult task, but thanks to the unique design of their jersey, it wasn’t that hard after all.
