Farmington High School Vs. Hazel Park Basketball

Last night I was surprised to see what I assumed when I walked into the gym to be the underdog team come back from a 20 point deficit and defeat the opposing team soundly, even if only in the last few moments of the game. It was an enjoyable game to shoot and I give Hazel Park props for playing strong and coming back. The … Continue reading Farmington High School Vs. Hazel Park Basketball

Detroit Pistons 2015

So it has been a while since I last posted, or updated anything on here. I really need to change that. However I still have been busy, with the Pistons, and with C and G Newspapers. I recently upgraded to a 5d mk iii, and man, I can’t give it enough praise. I had been using 2 1dmk ii’s a 40d and a 50d, so … Continue reading Detroit Pistons 2015

Well here goes. Pistons here we come.

For the past two years, I have had the privilege to be able to photograph the Detroit Pistons at every home game. This has proved to be a huge learning experience for me. This year will be my third year, and hopefully not my last. It was at the Pistons that I first started to realize the extent that you could use artificial light and … Continue reading Well here goes. Pistons here we come.

Wrestling and Snowshoeing

Saturday I covered wrestling at Warren Fitzgerald for C and G Newspapers http://www.candgnews.com The second time in a few days that I have covered the sport. It is definitely not a sport for the faint of heart. Going toe to toe with an opponent is probably unlike most conventional high school team sports. Since I am still using a 1d mk ii I had to deal … Continue reading Wrestling and Snowshoeing

Wrestling Districts at Utica High 2/5/14

Yesterday I covered wrestling districts at Utica High for C and G Newspapers ( candgnews.com ) This is only the third or fourth time I have covered wrestling since I started shooting for the GVSU Lanthorn in 2006. So suffice to say I am not familiar with all the nuances of the sport having not wrestled myself in high school. Needless to say the match … Continue reading Wrestling Districts at Utica High 2/5/14

Been a while

Its been a while since I have made a post. Still shooting many different things and keeping busy, from Notre Dame Prep’s basketball games to going to court to photograph an alleged murderer, it has been an interesting couple of months.  Since the last time I posted I have come to the realization I need to clean up my portfolio on a pretty significant level. … Continue reading Been a while

Clawson High School Football Vs. Warren Lincoln 10/11/13 – Homecoming

Tonight I had the pleasure of shooting Clawson High Vs. Warren Lincoln. This high school game turned out to be even more exciting than I anticipated. The action was exciting, the crowd was into the game, the atmosphere was perfect. If only Pistons games were on this level, lol, just kidding… See for yourself. 🙂 Check out all my favorite images here: http://briansevald.smugmug.com/Sports/Football/Clawson-High-School-Vs-Lincoln/32489759_w6kXQc#!i=2827224996&k=4kVL6h9 Continue reading Clawson High School Football Vs.

Woods, Kites, Smiles, Laughs, and Deer Poop

Today was a fun assignment for the paper. I was assigned to photograph a nature camp at the Lloyd Stage Nature Center in Troy. When I arrived, the group was going on a nature walk. I quickly tried to get ahead of the group so that I would be able to capture the group walking towards me. Leader and naturalist Debbie Williams was leading the … Continue reading Woods, Kites, Smiles, Laughs, and Deer Poop

Inspiration

Today while working on assignment for the paper I met a very interesting and inspiring individual. He takes care of and maintains a 1970 Mustang which he as owned since it was built. The inspiring part comes when you learn that the man is blind. He cannot view his hard work the way that most people can, and he cannot see to drive his beautiful … Continue reading Inspiration
