DESCRIPTION
For three months, Palm Heights, located in Grand Cayman, welcomed an international group of sprint and hurdle athletes united in their pursuit of peak performance for the upcoming Olympic qualifiers.

During their residency, athletes additionally immersed themselves in a blend of cultural programming that spanned multiple disciplines, encouraging the intersection of sport and art.

I had the pleasure of documenting and collaborating with these athletes to create series of photos and films to best express their athletic and creative journeys.

Along with attending every training session, I had the opportunity to bond with the athletes and create a comfortable environment to capture those authentic moments. I also got to direct creative shoots such as a fashion shoot in collaboration with the local boutique, Dolores, and award winning make-up artist, Kareem Jarché.
