I work as a Professional Photographer, specializing in editorial & commercial sports, nature, and lifestyle. I get paid to photoshoot other syuff with my camera, but I'll save that for my other website, which is in the works. I am currently accepting domestic & international assignments. I am a perfectionist, always trying to out do myself and try to capture the viewers attention. Doing what it takes to capture a defining moment, the "inner" soul of athletes in action, find the right lighting, angles, and composition is paramount to making the most impact with any image. Some samples of my work can be found on this website as well as http://www.flickr.com/photos/sportifimages. My website will be undergoing a face lift soon. Contact me about a full sample of my landscape work. I have worked for various media outlets, and continue to expand on my collection of gallery.

Images displayed on this website are used for stock. You can also check out my blogs at: http://sportifimages.blogspot.com for athletes in action & sports in general or http://dejansmaicphoto.blogspot.com for landscape and photo discussions.
