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.

Guaranteed Coverage — Closed

Private commissions are strictly not available for championship meets. The lens is fully committed to open editorial documentary coverage of the entire field.
