Sports pt.1

A collection of some of my favorite sports portraits and action photographs I've shot over the past few months.


I got the opportunity to do a portrait of Nine-time All-American 2006, 2007 & 2008 All-SEC gymnast Corey Hartung. She was really great to work with. To see her flexibility on the balance beam is amazing but to see her perform in person is phenomenal. She in my opinion is one of the best gymnast in the NCAA around.

Above, Former Negro League Baseball player William "Billy" Felder autographs a baseball. The players were visiting local schools to talk about their experiences playing in the all-black version of Major League baseball in the 1940s and 1950s.



SAFE!!!! I loved how a dirt cloud surrounds this Gainesville High School player after he slid back to first base without being tagged out.


University of Florida's Mary Ratliff, right, fights with University of Central Florida's Breanne Javier, left, to get back to first base before getting tagged out after being caught in a run down between fist and second base during the third inning of the championship game of the 2008 NCAA Softball Gainesville Regional. UF defeated UCF 10-0 in the fifth inning.
