Rodeo

Lifestyle of the Rodeo.

I'm Andrew, a professional freelance rodeo photographer based in Oregon, specializing in high-impact visual storytelling for some of the most iconic rodeos on the West Coast. From the grit of Pendleton Round-Up to the action at PBR and premier events like St. Paul, San Diego, and High Desert Stampede, I’ve had the privilege of capturing the raw energy and authentic spirit of the sport.

What sets me apart is my focus on real-time content delivery — I work closely with marketing and social media teams to deliver edited, ready-to-publish images within minutes. Whether it's behind-the-scenes storytelling or peak-action arena shots, I ensure brands and rodeos have dynamic, social-ready visuals when they matter most.

  • The vision is to capture the history and legacy of each rodeo, telling the story through the eyes of both fans and athletes. My goal is to visually share the passion, tradition, and grit that define the rodeo lifestyle, highlighting the moments that make each event unique and memorable.

  • My process is simple: to serve and meet the needs of the rodeo. I focus on capturing every aspect of the event—from the volunteers who make it happen to the livestock and the story. My goal is to document the full experience, sharing the people, the action, and the dedication that make the rodeo come to life.

  • I provide edited photos, a private gallery for easy access, and real-time photos during your event for social media sharing, ensuring you have everything you need to relive the experience and share it with others. All photos purchased are owned by you.
