Notice of Operations — 2026 Season

The lens follows the race,
not the roster.

I don't shoot volume galleries anymore. No 2,000-frame dumps, no bib-searchable archives, no guarantee that every runner crosses my frame.

What I shoot now is the meet itself — editorial, free-range, for the culture. The leader committing at the hairpin. The freshman closing on tired legs. I go where the story goes, and the story doesn't check start lists.

The documentary gallery from this meet will be a curated set of selects. Your athlete might be in it. That's the honest deal — and it's exactly why the channel below exists.

  • EditorialCoverage follows the narrative of the race — no roster obligations.
  • CuratedA tight set of selects, not a volume archive. Every frame earns its place.
  • GuaranteedThe only way to guarantee your athlete: a private commission, booked before race day.

Guaranteed Coverage — Private Commission

One athlete. A dedicated shooting plan across multiple course checkpoints, worked around the editorial coverage. Delivered as a private, edited gallery. If they're on the course, they're in the frame — that's the contract.

Straight Answers

FAQ

Will there be photos of every athlete at this meet?

No. Coverage is editorial and follows the story of the race, not the roster. Guaranteed photos of a specific athlete require a private commission booked before race day.

How do I guarantee photos of my athlete?

Book a Guaranteed Coverage Commission above. Commissions are capped at 3 per meet and close when slots fill or 48 hours before the gun — whichever comes first.

When does the documentary gallery go live?

Curated selects publish within 72 hours of the final race. The gallery button on this page activates automatically when they're up.

Can I use the photos commercially?

Gallery images are licensed for personal use. Media, school, and commercial licensing is available — get in touch through the main site.
