I got into photography after my first trip to a safari in South Africa — capturing wildlife in its natural habitat sparked a passion for telling stories through images. Over time, I ventured into sports photography, inspired by the desire to document my daughter’s sporting adventures in volleyball and lacrosse. That personal connection pushed me to focus on capturing the energy, intensity, and excitement of every moment.

As a detail-oriented photographer, I love freezing action in a way that brings the viewer right into the heart of the game. From fast breaks on the court to the thrill of a race, my goal is to make each photo feel alive, highlighting the dedication, passion, and joy of the athletes.

With Rissew Photography, I aim to share that excitement and energy with others. Every shot I take tells a story, letting people feel the emotion, movement, and atmosphere of the sport — almost like they’re right there on the field with me.
