Female Boston Police Officers Ball in Dorchester

While the girls may have felt they were there just to improve their skills or simply have a good time, they were constantly getting lessons and quick lectures from the ST coaches, who happen to be Mass General nurses, and the BPD.

Little Pirates: A Baseball Story

For about 3 years I have helped coach a little league team in my home town of Easton, MA. I've done this for a few reasons. 1. I love baseball 2. I love working with kids 3. Owning your own business is stressful as hell. When I go to the ball field I leave my cell phone in the car, forget about bidding on projects, and just enjoy the game.

Filming a Master: Gymnast Aly Raisman

There's something majestic and personal about filming this close to a master of their craft, especially for that amount of time. The massive gym was empty. Young girls would enter periodically in preparation for their own workouts but for most of the time it was just Aly and me. We had to figure each other out and gain some sort of trust in the middle of a workout without really being able to speak to each other beforehand.

Montana, Big Sky, and a Photographer's Dream Job

I had to tag along an actual fitness vacation, as a 1 man crew, without holding anyone back. This means I had to keep up with some of the fittest people in the country such as running coach Nate Helming, fitness expert Jacqueline Kasen, and blogger Natasha Linton.

The Rise of Basketball in Rwanda

In Rwanda, people have been showing up in masses to an unlikely and uncommon place: the basketball court. Like most of the world, Rwandans love soccer. But for the past three years basketball has emerged as a new favorite, especially among people under the age of 25, who make up 67% of the country's population.

New Photo Campaign: Reebok Combat Sports

I love these kinds of shoots because the goal is to capture a true image. No over lighting, no real posing. We shoot real athletes performing real technical moves and we go all out.

From the Streets to the Gym: Photographing InnerCity Weightlifting

The streets of Dorchester account for a huge amount of the violence in Boston where only 1% of young people account for 70% of the violence in the city. Surprisingly, the city I have lived in for 3 years and where I have called home for my entire life, averages 1 shooting every 1.1 days and has a violent crime rate 123.8% higher than the national average.
