About Us - WODPHOTOGRAPHY

Wodphotography

When I enter a box, I enter a community, a family. People who cherish and root for each other. I photograph their emotions. That’s what being a photographer is to me – it’s all about the people.

I started taking pictures back in 2012. I was (still am) a total sneakerhead. I used to wait in line all night just to get the newest edition. I began photographing them, getting to know how to work with my camera, lights, settings – I got pretty good at it. My love for kicks ignited my passion for photography.

Then one day I joined a crossfit box (crossfit040). A place that reminded me so much of where I grew up, a real community, people cheering for each other, never letting the last one finish alone. I loved it. It felt good. Mind you, I was absolutely shit during my first try-out. I threw up during the warming-up, but no one laughed at me. Instead they kept cheering me on. I knew then that i would be coming back.
That box introduced me to my two current passions: crossfit and sportsphotography.

I was asked by one of the coaches do a commercial shoot of him. He liked the pictures. Then I shot a workout. The box owner liked it. After that i shot an in-house Throwdown. The people liked it. Through practice, i became good at photographing the human body in motion. Through my love for the sport I know what to look out for, what movement to expect. I go for the shots that most show the person and their emotions and expressions. The human.

You know those last two minutes before the timer ends? Heaven. Utter heaven for me. I just see the calculation in the athletes eyes. The decision. The determination. I love that.
They’re all athletes to me. They all get up and do it. They work on their bodies. Put their energy, sweat, tears, and blood into those workouts. They’re my motivation.
