LINK IN BIO TO BUY (usa) For Europe and Australia go to @goodsport_magazine My New zine is out! “Mud, Sweat & Tears” published with @goodsport_magazine (cc : @benclement_ and @willocks_ ) Mud, Sweat & Tears is a limited edition 58-page zine documenting the 2025 Nike Cross Nationals (NXN); America’s premier high school cross country championship in Portland, Oregon on December 5th, 2025. Shot entirely on film (yes i like to make my life difficult) the work moves beyond the podium to capture what NXN is really about; the several hundred athletes who converge on Portland knowing they won’t win. It’s a portrait of a team sport disguised as an individual one - the pre-race nerves, the mud, the effort, the collapse at the finish line, and the arms of a teammate waiting on the other side. My camera finds the emotion that lives in the mid pack, the glitter face paint, the bare feet in the mud, and the embraces that carry four years of high school cross country in a single moment. The zine pairs my photography - intimate, spontaneous, and alive with film grain with an original essay by writer and former HS cross country star @paulopolooza , and features bold, color-blocked graphic design by @loganjohn.info

Was a dream to work on this @tracksmithrunning campaign shot in Whistler BC only 2 weeks ago. From the 3 hour hike up to camp to cooking packet lasagne to the 10 mile run / hike (holding a camera) and all the jokes along the way. @taylorgilland and @kamilahjournet were dream subjects. Thanks for your trust @oliveirarafa
