PHILADELPHIA, PA-I love me some puppers. I’m an animal lover of all shapes and sizes, and I’d love to do more work with shelters to showcase our furry friends. I think it’s a quintessential shot or maybe a must-have that if an animal is present at an event, I will get that photo. Don’t worry.

PHILADELPHIA, PA-Some of my favorite shoots are the unexpected ones. The Laurel Hill meditation walk changed how I see cemetery spaces, really, all of the photo and video work we’ve done for Laurel Hill has. This image stands out because it’s uncommon: the red of her hat cuts takes center stage in the frame, almost like a bird’s beak against all that green. It works because of the context, and because there’s something special about these unorthodox captures.

PHILADELPHIA, PA-The parade images came from my second Super Bowl Parade coverage, which has quickly become my favorite kind of assignment. I approached my equipment pack out a little differently this year, leaning into a super wide lens, and staying close, just a few feet away, to keep things intimate without ever feeling uncomfortable. The energy made it easy. Everyone was having a blast, completely present, genuinely happy to be on camera. Year two felt different in the best way, players and fans everywhere, moments constantly unfolding. It was hard to miss a good one. If they win every year, I’ll keep photographing it and stick with the same two-camera, two-lens setup, but definitely wear better shoes.
