 Welcome to my website— the electronic showcase of freelance photographer Don Adams Jr. Most of the photos you'll see on these pages were from freelance assignments I covered for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, one of the most highly regarded and historically significant daily newspapers in the U.S. The bulk of my work is sports photography, but I also shoot a wide variety of news and feature assignments as well as concerts. Most of the images I shoot while on assignment—with the exception of recording artists and major league athletes such as Andy Roddick shown here—are available for purchase. If you know I covered an event but don't see the photos on this website, please contact me and I'll do my best to get them online.
Every year I cover more than 200 high school, college and minor league sporting events. These events included the 2004-2007 United Hockey League All-Star Classic events in Glens Fall, NY, Ft. Wayne, IN, and St. Charles, MO; the 2004 Frontier League All-Star Classic, Missouri River Otters ice hockey (United Hockey League), River City Rascals baseball (Frontier League), RiverCity Rage Football (National Indoor Football Leage), St. Louis Flight basketball (ABA) plus many St. Louis area high school games and Missouri state high school championship events. In June 2006, I photographed the 25th Annual Race Across America endurance bicycle race from Oceanside, CA to Atlantic City, NJ as a crew member/photographer for Team Heifer International. (Our tag team of four riders crossed the USA in 7 days, 4 hours and 9 minutes.)
As the official photographer for XIIR Motorcylce Ice Racing (XIIR.com), Missouri River Otters hockey (riverotters.com), RiverCity Rage football (ragefootball.com), River City Rascals baseball, and the Family Arena (familyarena.com) my photos appear on the organizations' websites, trading cards, t-shirts, posters and yearbooks.
In addition to freelancing for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, my work has appeared in national and regional publications including the Philadelphia Inquirer, Popular Mechanics Magazine, Air Force Times, Baseball America, Education Weekly, the Santa Barbara News-Press, Black Voices Quarterly, Ft. Wayne (Ind.) Journal Gazette, Times-Standard (Eureka, CA), Used Car News, the Suburban Journals of Greater St. Louis, the Belleville (Ill.) News-Democrat, and Motorcycle News (England). My photos can be seen in several books including St. Louis Sports Folks by Post-Dispatch writer Tom Wheatley and on websites throughout the United States and Europe.
As an experienced photojournalist and a former newspaper advertising director I am well aware of the news industry's demands for meeting deadlines and getting the shot that counts. The digital images I shoot can be transmitted anywhere in the world within minutes.
For more information on purchasing photos, discounts for large group or individual orders, or for hiring me for private assignments or publication work, please contact me at don@dajrphoto.com or call me at 314-249-4210.
Sincerely,
Don Adams Jr.
