NATIONAL CHAMPIONS, UCLA BRUINS. Every once in awhile, I get a bit emotional behind my camera… I love the Women’s Final Four because every elevator, every restaurant, and every street corner is filled with generations of women who all played college basketball. Many of them fought for the right to play, and fought to show the world that women’s sports matters. To sit in a sold-out arena surrounded by these women, knowing how much the game has grown because of them… is truly a beautiful experience. A special congratulations to @gabrielajaquezz on an incredible four years at UCLA. Your grit, tenacity, and ability to always find the fun in the game is what makes you such a special player. This is just the beginning 🫶🏼 and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! Love you! 4.5.2026 Women’s National Championship Game @uclawbb 📸 by @kees2life

There’s nothing quite as rewarding as rounding up a crew of mates, old and new to share in the joy of creating something together. So excited to share these BTS frames captured during our documentary shoot out West with The Hills, putting @fujifilmx_au ’s new GFX ETERNA 55 through its paces.

Paige Bueckers // 2025 WNBA ROY I’ve loved watching Paige grow as a player all these years, but it’s even more of an honor to see her as a teammate. She’s been in the spotlight most all of her playing career… but every chance she gets— she shares that light with others. That’s what makes her such a special player and human being. On the night of the WNBA draft, going #1 overall… it wasn’t just about Paige. It was about the presence of her whole team and their experience, supporting one another. Congratulations to Paige and her Rookie of the Year Award 🫶🏼 📸 for the @wnba

Champions. This was my first time seeing a women’s NCAA Championship in person. My favorite part of the whole experience was seeing so many current and former WNBA players in attendance... encouraging and mentoring the next generation. The game is what it is today because of all of them. Congratulations to the UCONN Huskies. You’re up next. LIFT AS YOU RISE.

From Rivals to Unrivaled. This past January, I had the opportunity to photograph six player captains for Boardroom’s Cover Story on the Inaugural Unrivaled Women’s 3v3 League. It was during this shoot that I realized just how truly special this league was going to be. Each athlete was there because they understood what their camaraderie represented for this league and the history of women’s sports. A league that would break records for salaries of female basketball players. A league that would put the needs of its athletes first. And of course, a sisterhood that would continue to use their voices to advance the future of female athletes around the world. To the Women of Unrivaled — the athletes, the staff, the coaches, the investors — you have all been a remarkable reminder that when women come together, we are our own strongest catalysts for change. The season may be coming to a close tonight… but this is truly just the beginning. Many thanks to the team at @boardroom and @mluki for your belief in me. It means the world. And thank you @ed_w1ns for being my rock and lighting assistant. 🫶🏼

Jalen, Super Bowl Champion. Jalen is never the loudest voice in the room, but his actions—on and off the field—speak volumes. He recognizes that every decision he makes has an impact— and a ripple effect on not only his teammates, but the entire city of Philadelphia. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to photograph Jalen after his appearance on Good Morning America. While on the show, he highlighted the Jalen Hurts Foundation and his continued commitment to the teachers and students of Philadelphia Public Schools. Jalen is a Breed of One, and the embodiment of a true champion. This Super Bowl was never just about him or this team — it’s always been about our city and its people. Photography for: @jalenhurtsfoundation and @gq Many thanks to @racheleverett01 for the opportunity and always believing in me.

Alexander Zverev // US Open 2024 Zverev is a German professional tennis player ranked world No. 4 going into his match earlier today at the US Open in New York. Zverev (affectionately known as Sascha) comes from a family of professional tennis players. His mother and father met on a court in the Soviet Union before eventually moving to Hamburg, Germany - where Sascha was born. His brother, Mischa, also played professionally, but now serves as one of Sascha’s coaches — along with their father. Family and tennis are one in the same for Zverev, and that’s pretty special to see 🎾❤️ 📸 taken for @alexzverev123 💫 @ben_abbou thank you for the opportunity

ICON // Noah Lyles Fastest Man in the World. “A lot of who I am and what I do is about pushing the needle forward in our sport. You might not always like me, but you’re still probably watching… and that’s good for all of us.” It’s important to recognize that the person Noah is comes from years of dedication to working on himself and prioritizing his mental health. As an athlete, you’re only as strong as your mindset… so don’t mistake his confidence for anything but strength. 📸 for @celsiusofficial March // 2024

Last week, Bronny and his dad got in a few workouts together before the 2024 NBA Draft. LeBron is arguably the greatest player of our generation, but during these workouts— through my lens — he was simply just a dad — laughing, encouraging, and competing with his son. But now, with the 55th pick on Thursday, LeBron and Bronny’s relationship has transcended to a new level. They are no longer just a father and son — they are teammates. Thank you @cbrickley603 for having me in the gym for a few iconic moments in the History of Basketball. June 25/27 2024
