GrandStandPix.com specializes in event photography. We cover the schools that play in and around the Metro-Jackson, Miss. area. The primary focus for this site is Athletics, but our network of photographers also often encounter editorial, commercial, fine-art portraiture and wedding assignments. Will Smith, Bob Smith, Hays Collins and Dennis Rester are current members of the network.
Bios:
Will Smith picked up a Nikon midway through the '97 fall semester at Mississippi State University. (The first of several semesters) After dropping his first Canon off a rappelling tower he decided to try a Nikon on for size, and has remained "black" since. While a Bulldog, Smith saw stints as a Photographer and Photo Editor at The Reflector (newspaper), Photo Editor at The Reveille (yearbook) and as a student worker/photographer for The Office Agricultural Communications.
Also while at Mississippi State the paths' of former The Clarion-Ledger Photography Director, Chris Todd and Smith crossed.
Hays Collins picked up a Canon while shooting fighting okra in the fields of Cleveland, Mississippi at Delta State University. The lifelong Jackson area resident saw action on the turf and track at Jackson Preparatory School. When not shooting sports, Collins enjoys a paddle on the Ross Barnett Reservoir or traveling the North American continent to photograph nature's beauty. Collin's work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Mississippi Magazine, The Clarion-Ledger, Mississippi Wildlife, Victories in Metro Jackson.
