THE DETAILS
INVESTMENT
No two athletes, dancers, or sessions are the same—and I don’t believe the experience should be either. My work isn’t built around packages, time limits, or a promised number of images. We shoot until we’ve created what we came to create, with every session shaped around the person, the performance, and the vision.
WHERE STRENGTH BECOMES ART,
MOVEMENT BECOMES STORY,
AND PERFORMANCE IS NEVER
JUST A MOMENT.
These aren’t photographs made to simply document what happened. They’re created to show what’s usually missed the strength, intensity, discipline and individuality behind the performance.
Every session is approached differently, built around the athlete
or dancer in front of my camera and the story worth telling.
"HE ISN'T JUST SHOWING UP WITH A CAMERA ; HE'S
SPENDING COUNTLESS HOURS CREATING MEMORIES"
Our players, coaches, and families have absolutely loved the photos he has provided throughout the season. We couldn’t be happier to have Marcus and his family as part of our organization, and we highly recommend his work to any team, athlete, or family looking for exceptional sports photography.

PRIVATE COMMISSION
$300
Your commission reserves the session and my complete creative attention. It includes professional lighting, art direction, movement and posing guidance, multiple wardrobe or costume changes, and the time necessary to create the signature dramatic imagery my work is known for.
There is no hourly meter running and no charge every time you change an outfit or we decide to explore another idea.
The objective is simple: create the strongest body of work possible.
I have a strict minimum of two wardrobes for these sessions.
You read that right.
ardrobe is part of my creative palette. It changes mood, character, and the direction of what we create. Every session begins with a minimum of two looks, with the freedom to explore up to six different wardrobe changes throughout the shoot.

SMALL GROUP COMMISSIONS
$175/ATHLETE/
Designed for 2-4 athletes, teammates, siblings, training partners or dancers who want individual artwork as well as photographs created together. The same philosophy applies: creative direction, wardrobe freedom, professional lighting and no clock-driven session. Home and away uniforms are ideal but a strict minimun of two and a maximum of 6 wardrobes for all my commissions.
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
We start with a conversation about the athlete, the vision, and what you want the images to say. You bring the story. We’ll shape it together.
BUILD THE VISION
Location, wardrobe, lighting and movement come together with intention—while leaving room for the unexpected.
CREATE THE WORK
No hourly blocks. No rushed shot list. We work until we have what we came to create—then I deliver only the photographs worth keeping.

the process
Every athlete is different. So is every session.
There’s no formula and no conveyor belt. We build the shoot around you—your movement, your personality, and what you want the images to say. The goal isn’t simply to document what you do. It’s to create something that looks and feels like you at your best.
