Last Saturday I shot the Marietta vs. Parkview girls first round playoff basketball game for the AJC.  Parkview was the #1 team in the state and undefeated.  They ended up losing by 1 point after they missed a last second shot.  Everyone was stunned.
During a game like this, where David defeats Goliath, it’s all about [...]

Last night was my first ever assignment for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  I had contacted them earlier in the summer to let them know I was available for high school football and other freelance work this fall, and earlier in the week they followed up with me.
This was my first high school game with my big [...]

This is my final preseason countdown post (see the others here here, here and here).  Today’s football photos are all high school level.  They are all copyright The Anniston Star, the Gwinnett Daily Post and OurVarsity.com

Central Gwinnett High School’s Malcom Moulton got decked during a play against Birkmar High School in 2007.

Shot this today, the writer told me that she had broken her nose earlier in the season and had to wear a protective mask so I should try to incorporate that.  Incorporate I did.

Parkview’s Lauren Coleman is one of the top scorers and assist leaders in Gwinnett County.

My goal was to light the Parkview vs. Berkmar game, and I was successful for the first quarter or so. Then my batteries on both flashes started giving out all of a sudden, thats the problem with rechargeables though, they don’t tapper out, they just go. I made do though.

Shot the Gwinnett County Wrestling Championships today at North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Ga.  I’ve never shot wrestling before, or been to a meet before,  so it was an interesting experience.
I think I did decently, hopefully I’ll do better next time though.

Matt Johnson (Parkview) dec. Corban Nilson (Brookwood) 3-2

I shot two games today, because the other photographer was shooting the dominant art for the sports section he got to take the Pocket Wizards with him.  I figured this may be the case so I planned ahead and brought my Canon and 85mm f/1.8.
Lets just say that combination is a beast at shooting in [...]

Shot 3 high school basketball games yesterday.  One was at a tournament sponsored by Powerade at North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee which featured the Parkview Women’s team against East Hall.  The other two were men’s and women’s games at the Deep South Classic down at Brookwood High School featuring Grayson and Greater Atlanta Christian.

Parkview’s Brandon Jacobs was named the Gwinnett County Football Player of the Year by the Gwinnett Daily Post today.  I shot his portrait for the story last week.  Our Player of the Year Portraits are supposed to be very casual so after I was able to get Brandon to loosen up a bit, the shots [...]
