I’m Parker Schaeffer, a freelance sports photographer based in Johnson City, Tennessee, and a Media Communications student at ETSU. I spend most of my time around athletes—early mornings training sessions, long practices, and loud game days, capturing the real moments that show the work behind the scenes. I’ve been lucky to work with programs like East Tennessee State Athletics, the Knoxville Ice Bears, Bishop Hartley High School, Starting With Stafford, and Knoxville Webb Spartans Athletics. At the end of the day, I just love telling the story of sports through raw, genuine images.
