I worked as a sports photographer for Playbook, covering inter-school American football events between elementary and middle/high schools at U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings.
My primary focus was to document the intensity, emotion, and competitive spirit of young athletes, capturing unique moments both on and off the field—key plays, celebrations, pre-game focus, and the bond between teammates. The goal was to create dynamic, authentic imagery that tells a compelling visual story of the sporting experience, designed for athletes, families, and educational institutions alike.
