MarathonFoto is a division of Iconic Group, and we photograph marathons all over the world.At the major races including Chicago, London, Berlin, New York and the Boston Marathon, I manage the finish line bridge so that the finishers are getting the best photos we can give them at the exact moment as they cross the 26.2 mile mark. At smaller races I am often the one organizing the whole race, which includes communicating with the contact to go over logistics of the race, touring the course to find the optimum locations for scenic photos to be taken, leading and training my team on everything and finally prepping all our digital files, so we can identify and market to the runners. Every once in a while I even get to just take photographs.
