What I Bring
Division III arenas have inconsistent, unflattering light and a lot of glass and netting in the way. Two seasons of shooting them is the closest thing to a qualification there is.
Same night, every game. Cards come off after the final whistle, Aftershoot handles the cull, and the edit is done in Lightroom with presets built for the building I am shooting in. Captioned and delivered before the night is over, start to finish by one person. If something has to go out during the game, I can send a frame from the camera to a phone on the spot. Portraits and team sessions inside a week.
Men's and women's programs shot with the same attention, the same access and the same edit. That shows up in the galleries above, not just in a sentence.
Peak action, bench and sideline reaction, celebrations, team and group portraits, and wide environmental frames for layouts and social.
Two-body kit — Canon EOS R6 Mark II and EOS 70D — with 70-200mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.8. A backup body comes to every assignment. Adobe Lightroom weekly, with IPTC captions and metadata embedded on delivery. No equipment ramp-up required.
Evenings, weekends and holidays. Reliable vehicle for away contests. Open to relocation throughout New England and the Northeast.
About
In 2024 I started photographing SUNY Potsdam hockey because I wanted to. Nobody assigned it, nobody paid for it, and I have not missed much since.
What began as men's hockey grew into women's hockey, then soccer — full competitive seasons, arranged on my own, shot on my own equipment, edited and delivered on my own turnaround. The archive now runs to tens of thousands of frames.
I came to this from outside the traditional path. I do not have a photography degree. I built this working nights and weekends around other jobs, learning the technical side the hard way: in a cold rink, at high ISO, with the puck already moving. Everything I know about anticipating a play, about where to stand, about which moment is the one — I learned by being there for the ones I missed.
What I want now is to do this full time, for a program that needs someone who will show up for the Tuesday night conference game in February the same way they show up for the playoff run.
I am looking for a staff photography role in collegiate athletics or university communications. I would rather be judged on the pictures than the résumé, which is why the pictures come first on this page.
