📍Huntington Beach, California.
Even at it’s highest level, beach volleyball is still very much a grind. At this AVP event, the best of the best in the states (& some beyond) battle it out to qualify for the last remaining spots in the pro league.
Big shout @lacogives , who brought us out to this iconic volleyball destination to film the stone cold duo of @megan__kraft & @teresecannon 🏐

We are proud to announce our new partnership with @letskeeptheballflying 🙌🏼🏐
LKTBF is an organization building a global movement that brings sport’s transformative power to disadvantaged communities. From training camps to coaching support and gear donations, their initiatives create opportunities for a thriving volleyball culture. They are powered by a team of volunteers and not only that, some of the top volleyball players in the world donate 1% of their income to fuel these opportunities.
With a shared vision of uniting the world through the power of volleyball, I’m excited to see where this relationship goes with already a couple of projects in the works. A movement takes heart, and then a village 🤝 Big thanks to @volleycation for seeing and believing.
Here’s a little bts of production as part of the celebration ☀️

It’s all smiles here, but the journey has been difficult. It’s been two years in the making of sacrificing time and money to get this story told. But in this process, the volleyball world has opened its arms, been vulnerable, and assisted how they could to support. And for that I am forever grateful.
Someone in the volleyball and film world told me volleyball documentaries aren’t out and public because no one’s ever finished it. And at many moments, with unanswered emails and failed pitches, I can understand why. But that man doesn’t know I’d take that as a challenge, bc this thing is getting finished no matter what 😈
Episode 1: Puerto Rico will be finished this year. Stay tuned. Many cool things in the works behind the scenes.

Been so excited to share this and honored to be a part of it, not only to showcase my work as a photographer but also to highlight our amazing production team at @citypicturesnyc . As creatives in this industry, we often find ourselves behind the scenes, and sometimes we don’t get the chance to celebrate our own achievements. This, however, feels very much like a victory lap for all the hard work we’ve put in over the years – and celebrating with a video dedicated to our beloved city makes this moment even more special. Much love to my crew @neivy , @forthexperience , @wooodhall and @alejandro_camera , I couldn’t have done this without you guys, and featuring special guests @ruba , @chairmanmaonyc , @julianbrimmers , @krystalconye and @bleekerdigital - thank you for being a part of this and an important part of my career.
I can’t thank the team at Leica enough for their support and trust in letting us create this shared vision. Thank you @maryirenem , @kellumphoto , @jack_devanna , @santipuerta_ and the rest of the team.
