Shooting with Olympian Athlete Troy Doris

I got to shoot with a friend of mine, Troy Doris. Troy is one of the best in the world at the triple jump, and his talents have brought him much success in his career.

These are a select few of my favorite images from our shoot in the desert of Las Vegas. 

Hope you enjoy. <3

The De Novo Lift & Chill Tour Video Diaries

In the spring of 2016, I joined the De Novo team on an epic voyage across the country. LS McClain, Ben Esgro, Katie Rutherford, Jacob Ormes, Pamela Sampson, Ryan Doris and I shoved ourselves into a Chevy Tahoe and hit the road. Get to know some these athletes and see what it’s like to drive cross-country in just two weeks while visiting some of the best gyms the U.S. of A. has to offer. 3,700 miles, 14 days, 7 athletes, 6 cities, and 1 crazy journey. This is the documentary I created from this experience.

Here are some images captured along the way...

How To Prepare For A Fitness Photo Shoot

Being that I've photographed hundreds of fitness shoots over the last 6 years, part of my job is to help my individual session clients be prepared for the big day.

"What do I need to bring? What do I need to wear? Is there anything I need to do???"

These are all questions I've heard a million times and wanted to create a simple resource to help people find their answers.

I've developed a list of major points that will help anyone plan and be ready, whether it's your first time or if you're an experienced fitness model.

Christian Guzman Photoshoot with Brandon Wells

I recently had a shoot with Christian Guzman at Alphalete Gym in Houston. 

Christian and I wanted to get together to create some unique shots in his gym using fire & smoke, in a way that hasn't been used before, especially at Alphalete.

Here's an awesome behind-the-scenes video of our shoot filmed by Lawrence Lee:

Had a great time and was excited with what we created. Here's a few select favorites:

Using a Rain Machine with Fitness Photography

I've been wanting to create a series of some athletes training outdoors, while battling Mother Nature herself. 

My idea was to construct a rain machine, so that I could execute this idea the most efficiently. I partnered up with the good people over at FringeSport to make this happen.

In Texas, the weather can be all over the place. 9am could be a beautiful morning with a blissful sunrise, and by 1pm there's a storm. So I knew I had to create the environment with what was available to us.

I planned this shoot around the weather to the best of the forecasts abilities. We settled on a week in mid April, where it was supposed to be overcast/raining for the entirety of the week. Unfortunately, the day we picked just happened to clear up within an hour of setup. 

I ended up having to do some work in post to pull the images to life, but I still quite enjoyed the turnout.

Thanks to Nick Bare and Taylor Dayne for modeling this shoot!
