ABOUT:
Hello! My name is DJ Cabanlong I am a sports photographer based in the Las Vegas/Henderson, Nevada area. I am currently attending the University of Nevada Las Vegas as a Journalism major with a concentration in Sports Media.
Growing up, I played numerous sports such as: Basketball, Hockey, Football, and more. I always had love for sports whether it be watching or playing. Sports photography is where two of my biggest passions become one.
I have worked with many teams and organizations in the Las Vegas area.
