I consider the downloading of images from my Flickr and posting them or printing them elsewhere as THEFT and will seek legal action against anyone found to be using my images without payment and permission.

I am a professional horse racing photographer based in central Illinois, and have been shooting with credentials since 2009. My first gig was the Belmont Stakes.

My photos have been featured on SI.com, ESPN.com, NTRA.com, NYRA.com, TwinSpires.com, Brisnet.com, Bloodhorse.com, in EBN, on TVG, during the Triple Crown coverage on ABC and NBC, in the Thoroughbred Daily News, American Turf Monthly, Trainer Magazine, and used in ads for breeding and major stud farms.

Please understand I am a professional photographer who gets paid for my work to shoot the races. I do not give away my photos for free for ANY purpose. Please know that I cannot sell any photos taken at accredited tracks. If you are looking to purchase prints from stakes races, contact the track photographer where the race was held. You can find this information through the track's website. All of my racing pictures are for EDITORIAL USE ONLY. That means you MAY NOT use them for your SIM games, corporate websites, personal websites, Facebook, etc. Additionally, please refrain from taking pictures off my Flickr and reposting them to Facebook, Instagram, or other websites or from removing my watermarks. Taking photos from my stream and posting them as your own is strictly prohibited.
