Gritty Action

I don’t shoot from the sidelines. I specialize in gritty, immersive action photography — capturing moments where movement, danger, and determination collide. From wildland firefighters pushing through smoke to Spartan racers clawing through mud to athletes grinding under stadium lights, I work from inside the chaos with my camera wrapped in plastic and my boots in the dirt.

My subjects are athletes, first responders, and people who live on the edge of comfort. I work with them, climb with them, crawl with them — and tell their stories with clarity and truth.

This isn’t photography for comfort-seekers. It’s for the bold, the dirty, the dedicated. If you need coverage that shows the struggle as much as the triumph, that’s exactly what I deliver.

I work with event organizers, athlete teams, fire departments, and brands who want visuals that can’t be faked. My rates are project-based and reflect the prep, risk, and effort required.
