Here’s one for everyone:

Pro wrestling photographers: Show the photo you took that you think sums up your work the best.

Pro wrestlers: show the photo you think defines you and your character better than any photo taken of you

Pro wrestling fans: show the photo (not a screen capture of a tv, an actual photo) that you’d show people that tells them why you love pro wrestling so much.

I’ll start.

Looking for an opportunity in/around Minneapolis on 10/24.

Since I’ll already be in the area, I’m hoping someone would like/need some coverage of their show.

Promotional/Ringside/BTS all available.

Not a big “spooky season” person but I’m always in when it comes to my favorite horror character, The Carver of Cutters Alley.

Here’s some throwbacks to 2020.

I’m aware that I’m sometimes known as “the guy who does all the wrestling stuff” but did you know?…

Over the last ten years I have photographed:

-Nearly 200 weddings and the engagement shoots that go with them

-Nearly 150 high school senior or college graduation sessions

-Over 125 concerts ranging from arena shows to tiny venues

-Nearly 300 family sessions.

- Approaching 500 corporate headshots

- 2 sitting Presidents of the United States and 21 Presidential Candidates

- 34 protests

- 3 Grammy winners and 2 Oscar nominees

- 20+ corporate events

- a half dozen architectural shoots

- approximately 100 sporting contests ranging from 12U to professional

- 3 fires, during and after.

- 1 active tornado

- 4 newborns

- 3 surprise proposals

- 7 birthday parties

- 4 mma and 1 bare knuckle show

- 20(ish) promotional shoots for small businesses

- 7 comedy shows

- 1 rap battle

- 5 magic shows

- infinite number of things I’m not remembering off the top of my head.

And yes, every year, I’ve shot between 50-450 pro wrestling promo sessions and 75-500 pro wrestling matches, year after year.

So, call me the “wrestling guy” if you want, I’m ok with that. But take a look at the rest of my portfolio too, you might find something you like.

281 individual sessions in 2026.

A pace of 369 for the year.

At least two school studio days left in the year, plenty of time to add more.

Can I hit 400?

(Spoilers blacked out, but still counted)

Rare opportunity coming up on 10/24.

I will be in the Minneapolis area 10/23 and 10/24. I’m busy until around 3pm on 10/24.

Since I’m already in the area, I’d be curious to see if anyone would like/need some coverage of their show.

Promotional/Ringside/BTS all available.

2027 will be my 10th official year photographing professional wrestling.

Here is a list that is, to the best of my recollection, every promotion, school or publication I have ever photographed for or supplied images to, at least once.

In 2027, I'd like to add even more places to this list, the work speaks for itself.

Television quality promotional, the highest level ringside or a unique look behind the scenes.
