In May 2023 I was granted a Cincinnati Red’s media pass through CityBeat, a publication I shoot concert for. I don’t follow and sports and don’t really enjoy watching sports. As I grew up on Red’s baseball, I thought it would be fun to photograph a MLB game. When my pass came through for the Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals on May 23, 2023, I was thrilled. Check out my CityBeat photos here or see my favorites below.
At Christmas 2022 I photographed the 2nd annual Holly Days at the Dayton Arcade. This Christmas tradition features performances, craft vendors, food vendors, and a great community gathering space. I have been photographing the Dayton Arcade since 2017 when the City Of Dayton owned it, and it was left for dead. This is the second year in a row that Dayton Arcade had me out to photograph this beautiful and festive Dayton Christmas / holiday event. It was nice seeing all of the Dayton vendors selling their arts, crafts, wares, and food.
During the Summer of 2022, I photographed the Montgomery County (Ohio) administration building and the Great Miami River. I have done this before and my image is still featured on the MCOhio.org website. I decided to photograph this building from various spots on the west side of the river.
In August 2022 I photographed another Dayton Dragons professional baseball game at Day Air Ballpark in downtown Dayton Ohio. I normally don’t photograph sports, but it had been a while since I last photographed a minor league baseball game. The staff at the ballpark is excellent, and the facilities can’t be beat. This game was between the Lansing Lugnuts and the Dayton Dragons.
As one of the official Dayton Arcade photographers, I have been granted access that almost no one has. One experience I had this summer was getting in a bucket truck to photograph the Kuhns Building at Dayton Arcade. The Kuhns Building was undergoing a massive power washing for the first time in decades. The power washing brought out lost details of this architecturally beautiful building in downtown Dayton Ohio.
In 2022 I photographed the exterior of Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals NFL football team. In 2022 Paul Brown Stadium became Paycor Stadium. While walking around The Banks and the Ohio River in Cincinnati, I photographed the exterior of this NFL stadium. It isn’t the best or prettiest stadium in the NFL, but it is fun to see a Bengals football game here. This is the stadium where I first photographed Garth Brooks.
I was able to parlay my commercial photography work with other developers into photographing Dayton’s DP&L’s original power plant in downtown Dayton, Ohio. I’ve been driving past this abandoned building at the intersection of Fourth Street and St. Clair just steps away from the Oregon District and St. Clair Lofts. One day, I hoped to gain legal entry and photograph this beautiful, decaying building.
At WPPI 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada, I had the opportunity to photograph several professional models. One of my favorites with which to work was Adriane McLean. She was patient with our group as she had already been modeling for 8 hours. I learned so much at WPPI this year, and I was able to apply this photography knowledge to a live model shoot. I recommend hiring this Las Vegas model.
