Best Photographs of 2025

Every year leaves behind a handful of photographs that rise above the rest.Sometimes it’s the light. Sometimes it’s the place. Sometimes everything simply comes together for a few seconds and you know, even while you’re making the picture, that it’s going to be one you remember.This gallery brings together some of my favorites from 2025—golf course landscapes, architecture, wildlife, aerials, and a few images that don’t fit neatly into any category except that I like them.It was a particularly memorable year. I photographed Crooked Stick Golf Club just after its renovation, had my first trip to Kauai to photograph Princeville Makai, and spent time at The Links at Perry Cabin on Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay. Three very different places, each with a completely different personality—and exactly the kind of variety that keeps this work interesting.There were dramatic coastlines, quiet mornings, great architecture, wildlife that occasionally cooperated, and more than a few very early alarms.What ties these photographs together isn’t a particular style or subject. They’re simply the images from 2025 that stayed with me.Take a look around. These are some of the ones I’m happiest I was there to make.

Best Photographs of 2024

Some years are good. Some years give you a photograph you know you may never make again.2024 did both.I spent much of the year photographing clubs in North Carolina, including Champion Hills, The Club at High Hampton, Country Club of Sapphire Valley, and Maggie Valley. There was also The Park West Palm, Gil Hanse’s striking public course in West Palm Beach, and Lemon Bay Golf Club in Englewood, Florida, following its reimagining by Drew Rogers.And then there were the bald eagles.While photographing Lemon Bay, I had one of those rare encounters photographers hope for and almost never get: a pair of bald eagles giving me extraordinary access and, for a few unforgettable moments, doing just about everything I could have asked them to do.The photographs that came from that encounter remain some of the most remarkable wildlife images I’ve ever made.That alone would have made 2024 memorable.But it was also a year of beautiful mountain mornings, dramatic Florida light, newly transformed golf courses, familiar places seen again, and plenty of photographs that had nothing to do with eagles but still earned a place among my favorites.This gallery is a look back at the images that stayed with me.A very good year, indeed.

Best Photographs of 2023

2023 was busy.Really busy.In fact, it was the busiest year of photography I’ve ever had—and looking back through the images, I’m still not entirely sure how I managed to be in all those places.The year started about as well as it possibly could, photographing both courses at Indian Wells Golf Resort in California. The courses were in magnificent condition, the desert light cooperated, and the resulting collection remains one of the most complete and satisfying shoots I’ve ever done.From there, the calendar filled quickly.I returned to several longtime clients and familiar favorites, including Maderas near San Diego, Westhaven in Tennessee, Greystone in Birmingham, and Golf Club of Georgia, Horseshoe Bend, and Druid Hills closer to home. There’s something especially enjoyable about going back to a place you already know—because instead of figuring out where the photographs might be, you can concentrate on finding photographs you haven’t made before.Then the year finished with a flourish: two large, multi-course Troon projects, one in Florida and another in Arizona. Lots of courses. Lots of miles. Lots of sunrise alarms.And, apparently, lots of photographs.This gallery brings together some of the ones that survived the cut—the places, light, landscapes, architecture, and unexpected moments that made an exceptionally full year such a rewarding one.2023 wore me out.I’d happily do it again.

Architecture Photography

A golf club is more than the golf course. The clubhouse, the dining room, the locker rooms, the terraces, the small gathering spaces, and the details in between all help define how a club feels. So when I’m photographing a property, I pay attention to those spaces too.I enjoy architectural photography quite a bit. It asks for a different kind of patience—less chasing light across a fairway and more looking for lines, balance, texture, and the way a room or building reveals its personality. But I don’t approach architecture as a separate discipline. To me, it’s simply another part of telling the whole story of a club.Sometimes that means a grand exterior in beautiful light. Sometimes it’s a quiet interior, a detail members pass every day, or a space that says something important about the character of the place.I work primarily with available light and schedule architectural photography around the life of the club whenever possible. The goal is to make strong, polished images without turning the property upside down to get them.The photographs in this gallery are a collection of spaces that caught my eye along the way.Another tool in the bag.And one I’d be very happy to use more often.

Landscape Photography

If I had all the time in the world, I’d probably spend most of it photographing landscapes.In many ways, that’s what I’m doing even when I’m photographing golf. I’ve always seen golf courses as landscapes first—just more organized ones.That love of land, light, weather, scale, and atmosphere is at the heart of the way I photograph everything. A great golf course gives me structure and design to work with, but the instincts are the same: watch the light, understand the terrain, wait for the moment, and try to make a photograph that feels like being there.When there’s no golf course involved, I get to strip things down even further.No shot list. No routing to explain. No clubhouse to cover. Just light, weather, land, and whatever happens next.I never seem to get enough of it.Over the years, I’ve photographed landscapes across much of the United States, including Hawaii, and in places as varied as Iceland, Hong Kong, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Some of these images were made while traveling for assignments. Others happened because I found myself somewhere remarkable with a camera in my hand—which is usually all the excuse I need.Sometimes the reward is dramatic: a sunrise, a storm, a coastline exploding with light.Sometimes it’s much quieter.A bit of fog. A reflection. A simple shape. A patch of light that lasts thirty seconds.Those may be the photographs I love most.This gallery is a collection of places that made me stop, stay a little longer, and keep looking.And if there seem to be quite a few of them, there’s a reason.I’m still not getting enough.

Wildlife Photography

Most of my wildlife photographs happen by accident.Not literally, of course. The camera still has to be ready.But I’m not the photographer who settles into a blind before dawn and waits patiently for six hours hoping something interesting wanders by. I admire people who can do that. I’m just not one of them.Most of the time, I’m driving around a golf course looking for the next landscape photograph when something suddenly appears—a heron along a lake, a deer crossing a fairway, a fox in the rough, or a bald eagle deciding to make my day.The trick is being ready when it happens.That’s why I usually have a second camera with a long lens sitting beside me while I work. Wildlife rarely sends an appointment request, and some of the best encounters last only a few seconds.Probably 95 percent of the photographs in this gallery were made on golf courses, mostly across the United States, with a few encounters farther afield, including Mexico. And I think that’s part of what I enjoy most about them. They’re completely unscripted.They’re also a reminder that golf courses are landscapes in the fullest sense—shared spaces filled with movement, weather, changing light, and creatures that have absolutely no idea they’re standing in the middle of my assignment.Sometimes I get lucky.Sometimes I get very lucky.The important thing is having the camera ready when luck shows up.

Sunrise and Sunset Photography

Sunrise is my favorite time of day.No contest.I love the surprise of it. You can study the weather, watch the clouds, arrive early, and think you know what’s coming—but you really don’t. Every morning has its own personality.That’s a big part of the magic for me.There’s something about standing alone in the dark, watching the first hint of color appear, and waiting to see what the morning is going to give you. Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes the whole sky catches fire. Sometimes nothing much happens at all.And every once in a while, it feels almost like saying good morning to God.Those moments never get old. Blue hour, first light, sunrise itself—each lasts only a little while, and each reveals something different in the land. Shapes emerge. Mist starts to lift. Water catches color. A golf course that was invisible ten minutes earlier suddenly becomes a completely different place.You can’t manufacture any of it. You can only be there, be ready, and hope the morning has something interesting in mind.This gallery is a collection of some of those mornings.The surprises are the best part.

Drone Photography

A drone can show you things you simply can’t see from the ground.That’s what makes it useful.It can reveal the scale of a property, the relationship between holes, the way a course fits into the landscape, and patterns that are nearly invisible at eye level. When the light is right and the composition works, the results can be spectacular.I use aerial photography on most assignments, and I genuinely enjoy flying.But I also think it works best in moderation. It's very easy to put a drone in the air, stay in one spot, and come home with a lot of technically impressive photographs. The harder part is making images that actually say something about the place. So I treat the drone the same way I treat every other piece of equipment: as a tool, not the point.Sometimes the best photograph really is 200 feet up. Sometimes it absolutely isn’t.Over the years, I’ve photographed from the air across the lower 48, Hawaii, Iceland, the Caribbean, and plenty of places in between. The perspective can be extraordinary, but what interests me most is still the same thing that interests me on the ground: light, land, shape, atmosphere, and a strong sense of place.The altitude changes.The standard shouldn’t.

Golf Course Archive

This is the big one.The Golf Course Archive is the closest thing I have to a photographic black hole: thousands upon thousands of images from hundreds of clubs, gathered over years of assignments, road trips, early mornings, long editing sessions, and more miles than I care to count.It includes everything from small municipal courses to private clubs, resorts, and some of the best-known golf properties in the world. The photographs span the United States and beyond, and the archive is organized by state and country to make the wandering a little easier.You can come here looking for a particular course. Or not.You can browse Georgia, jump to Hawaii, wander through Iceland, head to the Caribbean, or simply click until something catches your eye.Some images are available as fine art prints. Some are here simply because they belong in the record.Either way, there’s a lot to explore.So take your time. Visit a few golf courses. Revisit one you know. Discover one you don’t.And if you get lost, Cam can help. You’ll find him in the green chat icon in the lower-right corner of every page.
