The Philadelphia Photographer

On my last assignment for ESPN RISE, I had the opportunity to shoot Caroline Raymond, Downingtown West High School’s girl’s softball superstar.  Her opponets fear her for two reasons; she throws a mean pitch and  she is a 6-foot senior.  Raymond is a Class AAAA All-State first team pitcher.  She will be playing for University of [...]

On a shoot for ESPN RISE, I got the opportunity to shoot baseball infielder, Sean Coyle, of Germantown Academy, in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.  Coyle is one of 20 baseball players to be selected to the USA Baseball 18U National Team.  They played for three weeks in the Pan-Am Games in Barquisimeto, Venezuela this past fall.  Coyle is [...]

For the January/February issue of ESPN RISE, I shot Evan Craig of Abington Heights High School in Clarks Summit, Pennslyvania. Craig was undefeated last year and is currently the PIAAA Heavyweight Champion.  He has won 2 cadet Greco-Roman National Championships and is currently ranked #2 heavyweight wrestler by Win Magazine.  To view and purchase images from [...]

For ESPN RISE this month I shot senior Kyrie Irving and junior Michael Gilchrist of St. Patrick High School/Academy in Elizabeth, New Jersey.  Kryie is ranked 6th in the nation for the class of 2010 while  Michael is the #1 recruit in the nation for the class of 2011.  Irving will be playing for Duke [...]

For the October Issue of ESPN RISE, Philadelphia Edition, I shot Dion Waiters from Life Center Academy in Burlington, New Jersey.  He is ranked #14 on ESPNU 100.  As mentioned on philly.com, before stepping foot on the basketball court in high school two years back, Dion had already committed to Syracuse Basketball in 2010.  His [...]

I finally got my hands on the PDF’s from some recent ESPN RISE shoots.  For the Philadelphia edition, I shot Emily Garrity, the #4 Lacrosse Recruit in the country, from Strath Haven High School.  Emily will be playing for North Carolina in 2010.  To see more images from the shoot, click here. For the Northern New [...]

Sometimes I take photographs for personal reasons, but have an underlying intention of making some stock sales.  I headed to Villanova last Friday night to shoot some local high school basketball teams.  Villanova is the best lit gym in the area, so it’s no trouble to walk in there and shoot available light. My reason [...]

All of the assignments from ESPN Rise Magazine are of elite high school athletes and all of the time I arrive to meet a genuine individual with a passion for their sport who works just as hard to create compelling images.  That was the case again with Kerri Shields, who is a basketball player at [...]

Recent news has led me to dig up a shoot from 2005 of an amazing kid, Myron Rolle. I photographed him for The Sporting News / Rise Magazine High School Football Annual since he was the most sought after recruit in the class of 2006.  Rolle graduated from The Hun School in Princeton with a [...]
