Sports Photography

I photograph sporting events both here in Arizona as well as across the country.

I provide photographic coverage of some of top races and sporting events across the nation both as a freelance photographer and as a photographer for hire.

 

 

Pictured above:  Jackson Reynolds riding a Whyte T-129 Full Suspension Mountain Bike on the Wasabi Trail in Flagstaff AZ.

I took this photo with a Canon 6D camera and Canon 16-35 2.8 lens.

Normally I prefer a Canon 7Dii for sports, but in this case, the full frame sensor of the 6D allowed for a wider angle shot.

Additionally the 6D has lower noise at high ISO, which was necessary here since I was shooting at a high shutter speed and smaller aperture.

2013 Ironman in Tempe Arizona

Ironman competitors race a grueling triathlon consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride and then a 26.2 mile marathon run. Professional Ironmen finish in about 8 hours. 

All Ironman competitors must be able to finish in under 17 hours.  This year the Phoenix Ironman had almost 3000 participants racing.
