There’s nothing quite like the energy of New England Fights(NEF)!
Working with NEF—right here in Maine—is hands down one of the coolest parts of what I do. From the intense build-up before the bell rings to the raw emotion when a hand is raised in victory, the adrenaline, passion, and energy are off the charts—and I get the chance to freeze those moments in time through my lens.
What makes NEF so special isn’t just the action inside the cage (though trust me, that’s electric)—it’s the fighters themselves. Every athlete brings a unique story, personality, and presence, and I love capturing those moments that reflect who they are both as competitors and as people. Some are quiet and calculated. Others are loud, bold, and ready to go to war. Every one of them brings something different—and it’s a photographer’s dream.
From rising stars to seasoned veterans, I’ve been lucky enough to meet and photograph some truly incredible talent. These fighters aren’t just tough—they’re passionate, focused, and inspiring. Whether it’s the intense stare-downs, the walkouts under the lights, or the raw emotion after a win (or loss), my goal is always to capture the heart of the moment.
If you haven’t been to an NEF event yet—you’re missing out. But until then, stay tuned to my feed for some of the most intense moments from cageside!
