Birmingham Barons + al.com + The Birmingham News | Editorial + Sports Photographer | Birmingham, Alabama

Congratulations to the Birmingham Barons for winning the 2013 Southern League Championship Series against defending champions the Mobile BayBears in game 5 of the 5 game series! Below are a few highlights from game 5:

These images show that despite being the bread and butter of sports photography, action images aren’t the only ways to visually tell a story. Reaction (celebration and dejection) shots are also pretty powerful. As are active portraits of key players such as this shot of Birmingham Barons 2nd baseman and series MVP Michah Johnson as he rounds the bases after hitting an out of park homer.

Go Barons!

Chinese Cardiologists Honored with Fine New Coats

Posted by Christine On October 19, 2012

Four Chinese cardiologists who are training at Princeton Baptist Medical Center received custom tailored physicians coats commemorating their training at the hospital during a reception and fitting at Shaia’s in Homewood. After a bit of socializing, the physicians tried on their coats for the first time. Here are some images Christine captured from the after-hours fitting and festivities.

General Krulak Revisited

Posted by Christine On February 28, 2012

It’s always fun to get to revisit a person you’ve met and photographed before. It was my pleasure and honor to photograph Birmingham Southern College president General Charles Krulak nine months into his presidency. It had been nearly a year since I photographed him as his appointment was announced. This shoot, for The Chronicle of Higher Education story about how Birmingham Southern College is faring since Krulak began his duties, was a blend of candid shots and portraiture. General Krulak is a “people” person. He is upbeat and friendly to everyone he meets; deftly maneuvering through a crowd, yet genuine and immensely likable. He is very hands on, and has hit the ground running on campus, greeting prospective and current students with enthusiasm. He attends every school sporting event, lives in student housing and doesn’t take a salary for his work. Astounding and inspiring. Here are a few images from the couple of hours we spent together. Thanks to BSC’s Bill Wagnon and The Chronicle’s Erica Lusk for their support on this project!

Presidential Appointment

Posted by itsviewtopia On March 22, 2011

Congratulations to General Charles “Chuck” Krulak, the newly appointed president of Birmingham Southern College! Krulak was appointed just this morning and within the hour was addressing a room filled with students. faculty, and staff of BSC. He then interviewed with the media and mingled at a reception.

Capturing an historic event such as this almost begs for shooting in a documentary style. Christine shot these in color and then converted them to black and white for a presentation with a timeless feel.
