Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl in their home stadium on February 7. I’ve worked as a team photographer for the Buccaneers since 2004 and this was by far the strangest season I’ve ever been a part of. The empty stadiums, new elevated shooting positions, COVID testing and the ever-present KN-95 mask fogging the viewfinder in the Florida humidity made it the […]
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked off with 2020 NFL Season with a game against the New Orleans Saints inside a silent Superdome.

I photographed the entire Rowdies roster during a one-day studio session on the turf inside Tropicana Field to create all the photographic assets for the campaign. I used Dynalite Baja high speed sync strobes to freeze the action. The imagery was used throughout the season in game programs, player posters (shown here), billboards, stadium signage, […]
I recently had the chance to photograph all the youth soccer players selected to compete in the 2019 USL Experience for the USL. The participants were chosen from Super Y youth leagues around the country to come to Tampa and compete in a high-level youth competition on U13/U14 and U15/U16 teams. The players also got an inside look into the pro soccer lifestyle, training and facilities through site visits and interaction with members of the […]
