For the October Issue of ESPN RISE, Philadelphia Edition, I shot Dion Waiters from Life Center Academy in Burlington, New Jersey. He is ranked #14 on ESPNU 100. As mentioned on philly.com, before stepping foot on the basketball court in high school two years back, Dion had already committed to Syracuse Basketball in 2010. His intense talent has never faltered despite the incredible hardships he has faced throughout his life — loosing three cousins and a best friend, as explained in the ESPN RISE story. Waiters is a true inspiration. I like these images from the shoot and the tear sheets are below. To view or purchase images from the shoot click here.
