Available to hire
I’m Brian Rawls Jr., a Film & Media Studies student at Colgate University and a varsity defensive back for the Raiders. I combine strong communication, high-pressure performance, and a detail-driven creative workflow across sports media, photography, and event/portrait production.
I’ve produced and captured live broadcast footage, supported athletics and arts media projects, and built a freelance photography and design practice with fast turnaround and consistent branding. I’m energized by storytelling through visuals—whether filming behind-the-scenes moments, creating promotional graphics, or documenting community events.
