PROUD MOMENTS
As an Internationally recognized, award winning Master Photographer, Master Artist and Certified Professional Photographer I take pride in my work and would like to share these accomplishments which place me in the top 10% of professional sports photographers in the United States.
In 2015 I decided to enter some of my best work into various national and international photographic competitions. Below are some awards I have earned over the years as I continue to showcase my work and enter many photographic competitions throughout the year.
I have found these programs, events and competitions foster growth, improvement, an opportunity to try new genres, art styles and above all it allows me the chance to showcase some client work for the world to enjoy.
