Role: Photographer, Lighting Designer & Interview Setup

Location: United States
The Nike Elite Program is a groundbreaking initiative that empowers 40 of the nation’s top high school track and field athletes—20 male and 20 female—across sprints, hurdles, throws, jumps, and distance events. As part of the creative production team, I worked as a Photographer, Lighting Designer, and assisted with Interview Setup, helping define the visual language of the program through both still and motion content. I assisted in designing and executing lighting environments for athlete portrait sessions and specialty photo shoots, balancing editorial style with athletic authenticity. On the video side, I supported interview setup and camera coordination, capturing dynamic visuals for features and campaign content that contributed to a polished, cohesive look reflecting Nike’s energy, precision, and forward-thinking identity.
In addition to my production roles, I also photographed the Nike Elite staff and all participants in the Near Peer Program, creating a cohesive visual identity across both teams. The portraits were designed with consistent lighting and tone to reflect the professionalism and energy of the program—presenting athletes, mentors, and staff with the same elevated, unified aesthetic that defines Nike’s brand storytelling.
