I'm Kolten.
I shoot sports &
portraits.
I'm Kolten. I'm 17, born and raised in Putnam County, and I picked up a camera in 2023 to shoot my high school's games. Two seasons later I'm still chasing the same thing — Friday night lights, crowd noise, the moment after the whistle when a kid finds his dad in the stands.
What gets me out there isn't the play itself, it's the atmosphere around it. Bleachers, breath in the cold air, the way the field lights catch a helmet at the right angle. If you want photos that make the local kids look like they could be on ESPN — that's what I do.
