Had a lot of fun entering competitions and placed 1st in the motion category for @35awards this year. I post this stuff as instagram has become my primary portfolio for photography and showcase for work. there’s no theatrics with what I do, sometimes it’s scary to watch, and what I shoot is raw. I wish to showcase the riders I work with more than myself because they’re the real deal and deserve the respect. It’s a byproduct of documenting them and their talent, their builds and their visions, plus the MTB scene around me that has resulted in great photos. Being able to explain the concept, BTS or vision of a shot and having that taken into account as part of judging criteria allows me to explain why choices were made and why the outcome ended up like it did. I don’t do this stuff on social media cause we all have attention spans like goldfish now and it wouldn’t get read, you’re probably not even reading this now, I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t be. but if you are, thanks… Now go ride you bike 🤟🏼

My portfolio after the first year of my professional photography career.

The biggest year of growth and challenges so far. I’ve been pushed and have pushed myself harder than ever before to break creative boundaries that kept me from doing what I do today. Since August, I’ve almost doubled my following and have made lasting connections with great photographers in the industry. Thank you God for giving me this gift to glorify You. I can’t wait to improve my craft and keep learning.

Some of these photos are part of a submission to the 2026 Doug Pensinger Photography Fund. Thank you to everyone at @utkdailybeacon and @utkmediacenter for supporting me in my submission to @dppfund

Garden City was winning against Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard (3 innings) but a thunderstorm caused almost a two hour delay before the umpires didn’t feel like playing out the rest of the game and sent everyone home.

It was cool going to EMU’s stadium though.

Saturday was truly an honor 🙌🏾 I had the opportunity to present on my journey growing my photography career as not just a photographer but a storyteller, and share insights into the behind-the-scenes world of post-production workflows I am in now at The Kansas African American Museum (@tkaam1).
This was all part of the Gordon Parks Weapons of Choice Middle & High School Photography Competition kickoff—where I also served as this year’s judge 📸
I am always grateful for any opportunity to pour into the next generation and help keep the arts alive as a powerful and viable path for the future ✨

And as always love representing as Hollywood Heights High School alum @heightsfalcons 🙌🏽
