Title: Gloves Dropped

"Shooting hockey is a passion of mine. This image was part of a library shoot for The San Antonio Rampage AHL hockey team.

These guys are amazingly skilled athletes, and while fighting and the role of the enforcer in the NHL has declined over the years, it still exists at the lower divisions. Players try to prove themselves to NHL teams, and sometimes they have to drop the gloves to do so.

This fight was a nice tilt between Jarred Tinordi (Milwaukee Admirals) and Evan Polei (San Antonio Rampage)."

Title: Bayer Silos

"This image was shot for the Bayer Corporation’s Agriculture Division. Honestly, this shot wasn’t even on the original shot list. We were shooting on top of those silos. I finished that shot and had just walked down. As I looked up to say something to my assistant, I instantly saw the shot. I got our model in position right away. It took less than five minutes and we went on our way. That is why you always have to keep your eyes open!"
