If you are anywhere near Los Angeles or San Diego and have a few days to spare, I highly recommend the trek to Joshua Tree National Park. I was only able to spend 2 days there but it was easily one of the most beautiful and breathtaking places I’ve ever been. I brought the camera along to shoot a few frames of a friend running in the park and captured a few snaps on our adventures. This trip came about after a slow month of May in Philadelphia for STEVE BOYLE PHOTO. Ironically, June has been busy with multiple freelance assignments from both Runner’s World, ESPN Rise as well as a couple personal projects that I’m working on. Stay tuned for images and tear sheets, but in the mean time, check out a couple of images from Joshua Tree. Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter, @steveboylephoto

I spent a few days with friend Gary Bogdon in Louisville, Kentucky for the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby. 4am alarm clocks are commonplace during Derby week, but once you get to Churchill Downs you’ll beg for more time, especially on those early morning workouts. Some of my favorite selects from the trip are below but a gallery of images can be seen here.
My approach to the Derby is the same as any other event that is littered with photographers, be different. It’s better to take a chance and fail than to make the same picture as 100 other photographers. For example, I was stationed at turn 3 during the race. There were two other photographers within a 1/4 mile of me, if anything good happened near us, we were on it and only us. Nothing happened, but that was the gamble. Another downside to that position was that eventual winner Mine That Bird was so far back at turn 3 that I have no frames with him in it during the race. A little bit of hustle got me to the winner’s circle in time to shoot some celebration such as this.

Just got these files fresh from Germany. The images starring World B. Free and Elevator were used by K1X in a small print catalog, the website and a handful of ads in basketball magazines both in the USA and Europe. Play Hard, Don’t Embarrass Their Products!

Phillipsburg defeated Easton on April 26, 2009. The weather was insanely hot for April, high of 88 degrees I believe, which seems doable compared to the frame I shot of the thermometer on the field reading 120+ degrees. Thankfully Gatorade was putting on the event so everyone was hydrated properly. The project was awesome and a perfect fit for me and my skill set. Below are some tear sheets from the game day program, a tight edit of the two-month documentary project is in the works.

First, I’d like to apologize for the time elapsed between posts.
This week the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament first round comes to Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center. Local favorite Villanova will be joined by UCONN, VCU, American, BYU, UCLA, Chattanooga and Big 12 conference’s Texas A&M. At the time of this posting I have not yet been assigned to cover the games in Philadelphia. The last time the men’s tournament came to Philly I was assigned by the Sporting News to shoot 6 games in 2 days to load up on stock images to compliment their annuals and yearbooks. Below is a select from that shoot way back in 2006 of Rajon Rondo who now plays for the Boston Celtics. I was shooting strobes on my Canon EOS 1DMark2 at ISO 100. If assigned to cover the tournament I’d likely be shooting available light both because of budget cuts and based on the technological improvements in just 3 years.

Yes, I shoot other subjects besides athletes. One client, American Medical News, recognized I am capable of other things sometime last year and it’s been great working with them since. Just returned from an awesome, on so many levels, assignment in Pittsburgh; more details to come on that later. The purpose of this post is to simply show readers that though my passion is action and sports, my lighting, photography and documentary skills are easily applied to any assignment. The tearsheet below is from a recent assignment for the American Medical News.
