Partnership with Brooks Running

Before the 2016 Olympic trials, I teamed up with Brooks to capture photography with one of their professional runners, Gabe, for the Brooks social team. The relationship grew and after Gabe’s passing Brooks released two editions of the special edition Brave Like Gabe shoe.

Since that time I’ve helped the Brave Like Gabe Foundation on a number of their creative projects and regularly consult for future needs.

I directed this video for a special fund-raising event for the Brave Like Gabe nonprofit organization.

The Brave Like Gabe Foundation is a very small non-profit that relies on solid partnerships - like ours with Ben Blair - to do our work. Ben's creative leadership has leveled up our store website photography, brought video interviews with cancer survivors to life, and overall given us the opportunity to meet bigger goals through his visual storytelling. He is generous with his time and talent, and steps in around project management to fill gaps we didn't know we had. He's the best kind of partner: energetic, creative, collaborative, and passionate about the details. We are grateful to have Ben as a partner for Brave Like Gabe!
