One photo can open a door. But sometimes you have to be the one to walk through it. 📸

McKellar Proffitt shares how a photo he took of Colten Mertens caught the attention of Frog Grips. Instead of stopping at letting them use the shot, he asked if they needed any photographers on the East coast.

That simple question led to even more opportunities.

A reminder to all the creators out there: your work can get you noticed, but don't be afraid to ask for what comes next.

Sometimes the things that change your life are the ones you never saw coming.

Years after losing his wife, McKellar Proffitt picked up her camera and decided to give photography a try. What started as something she loved became a passion he never expected to find for himself.

A reminder that creativity can find us in unexpected ways, and sometimes the things we leave behind continue to inspire the people we love.

🎙️ Hear more of McKellar’s story on the latest episode of Capture the Reps, available now at the link in bio.

Making sure your kid is fed, happy, and taken care of… only to realize you haven't eaten a single thing yourself. 😂

JT takes a quick break from talking all things creative to vent about the realities of parenting. Because apparently making sure everyone else eats is a full-time job.

Just a little dad life mixed into your regularly scheduled creator conversations. 🎙️

Sometimes your next opportunity is just one conversation away.

When McKellar Proffitt found out his mom's local newspaper might need someone behind the camera, he asked a simple question that opened the door to trying something new.

Not every opportunity comes from a big client, a perfect portfolio, or a carefully planned career move. Sometimes it starts with being curious, asking questions, and being willing to give something a shot.

SouthEast Crossfit Photo Road Trip: Day 1

Out here raising my own awareness / marketing for @fittestofthecoast in January.

Day 1 is off to a great start getting to shoot again with @doc.calipyz whom i worked with at NCC back in May. Bad ass PT working out of @tarheelcrossfit in Spring Lake, NC and Fort Bragg. More to come from the workout shots.

For now, here is a few road shots, and had the chance to stop at Buc-ees in Florence, SC. It’s overwhelming, and it’s cool. Hot take: Flying J and Loves are better.

The road trip continues through South Carolina and @palehorsecrossfit. Stay tuned.

1st Photo shot on the @nikonusa CoolPix L18. Remainder shot on the Z7 and @tamronamericas 35-100mm 2.8 Z lens.

We all start somewhere.

I’m excited to take over the media team for @_survival_games in a few weeks. This competition was my first CrossFit competition as an athlete which led me to pursuing the methodology as my primary training method. It was also the competition where I first volunteered for the media team shortly after picking up photography as a hobby.

Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the best creators in the business at some pretty awesome competitions including multiple semifinal events, Wodapolooza, the Age Group CrossFit Games, and more.

If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity to learn and get some experience in the CrossFit media space, reach out to me or click the link in the Survival Games bio.

See you at Paradise Lake in July!
