U.S. Soccer Photography Portfolio
Match Action | Team Storytelling | Portraits | Real Time Content
I’m a commercial and sports photographer with more than 20 years of experience creating action, portrait, lifestyle and brand imagery. A lifelong student of soccer, I use my understanding of the game to anticipate decisive moments while also documenting the quieter relationships and emotions that tell the complete story of a team. I bring the same commitment to every environment—from the sideline and training ground to behind-the-scenes access and polished commercial productions.
Sideline Photography
When I’m on the sidelines, I aim to capture not only the action, but also the emotion and story of the game. I look for unexpected angles and meaningful moments that offer a perspective viewers don’t normally see. Images that make them pause, look more closely, and understand what the athletes are experiencing.
Athlete Portraits and Lifestyle
When I photograph a portrait, my first priority is helping the person feel comfortable and at ease. I create a relaxed, encouraging environment where they can let their guard down and simply be themselves. By offering gentle direction while allowing genuine moments to unfold, I’m able to create images that feel natural, personal, and true to who they really are
Let’s Connect
I would welcome the opportunity to help U.S. Soccer document its players, teams and defining moments through thoughtful, timely photography. I am prepared to relocate to Atlanta, available for extensive domestic and international travel, and hold a valid United States passport.
