The Speed Project

One of the most demanding endurance events in the world. An unsanctioned ultra-running relay — 340 miles from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, no fixed route, no rules, no spectators. It's expanded globally since, with international editions from Chamonix to Marseille and through the Atacama Desert.

I've been a part of it three times: 2024, 2025, and 2026. As a competitor, a sports photographer, and a creative lead, during each race.

The Work

Three years inside The Speed Project — as a competitor, a photographer, and a creative lead. Running the race and shooting it at the same time changes what you see and how you see it. That's what this body of work is.

In 2024 I raced with team Run Too Hard, shooting stills throughout. In 2025 I was hired to shoot photo and video — handling capture, editing, and delivery while competing alongside the team. In 2026 I led creative direction and social media management for Demon Hours, overseeing the full content operation from pre-race through finish line, while leading the team as a runner.

Athlete portraits, sports photography, lifestyle photography, and athletic brand photography from inside one of the most demanding endurance events in the world. Including content for our On Running sponsored team in 2026.
