As I mentioned in the first sneak peak post about out tatoo project, I am collaborating with Olivia Cabrera on a coffee table book featuring professional athletes, their tatoos and the stories behind them. The athletes that we had the chance to work with on our first round in Phoenix, AZ were amazing! One of the most comical things about the whole experience was the fact that I know NOTHING about professional sports. I never watch. SO….although these men are all very well known in the sports world, I had no clue who they were. For some reason, they all found this hilarious. While shooting, my questions were… “what sport do you play?” “do you run fast, or bat good, or what?” =) Regardless, the fact that I was not star-struck certainly allowed me to shoot without any nerves interfereing! Overall, the trip was super successful and so much fun! We certainly mixed business and good times as some of the athletes ended up joining us out on the town after the shoots! Stay tuned for more updates on our project! PS….Here is the list of our athletes- Matt Barnes (Phoenix Suns), Brian Anderson and Jermaine Dye (Chicago White Sox), Bill Hall (Milwakee Brewers), Ryan Sweeney (Oakland As), Justin Miller (San Fran Giants), Joey Gathright (Chicago Cubs) and Andy Sisco. ENJOY!!!

Forget the project…I enjoyed the eye candy! ha ha…these are GREAT!
Amazing images! Of course the cavas wasn’t bad either
Great images. Enjoyed that.
Great shots, wut does brian anderson’s tatto say, ” I love you kid ?” Just wondering, good work
Thanks for putting this together!
If you actually have contact with them, tell Ryan he needs to hit the gym and turn into that power hitter we’ve been expecting him to turn into. :] lol great concept though, i like this.
Fabulous work!
