Florida Gators Football 2023

The Florida Gators Creative Team reached out for assistance with their 2023 Florida Gators Football photo shoot which they called "Swamp Party." I love working with the Gators especially on media day (or content creation) shoots. The content we created, especially on the white seamless, would be used by the Gators and the various media and TV outlets like ESPN and SEC Network all season long.

There were five stations: two on seamless white, one on black seamless, one headshot, and one inside the SwampVu (Florida's 180° concave video board) for video.

I shot alongside the NFL's Logan Bowles on the two seamless white while the and the Florida Gators Creative student interns ran the black seamless and headshots. The Gators football video team ran the SwampVu.

Thank you Florida Gators!

I really appreciate the entire Florida Gators Creative Team for bringing me to help with the 2023 Florida Gators Football Media Day, the Swamp Party! I had a blast working with all the student-athletes, coaches, communications staff and Gators Creative students.

I'm looking forward to seeing the images used on video boards, posters, social media, and the web.
