Sports Photography by Jason Rubin
Jason Rubin is a photographer based in Cedar Rapids, IA. He specializes in sports and live music photography, but also captures moments at other live events. What started as a hobby for him in the early 2000s, he has now been doing it professionally for the last ten years.
His passion for sports photography began back in 2013, when he started photographing a local swim team during the team’s home and away meets. This was the turning point for him from hobbyist to professional. In 2015, he branded his business, JMR Images. A few years later, the opportunity to photograph a variety of sports at the University of Northern Iowa presented itself. While it was an unpaid opportunity, it provided him with a plethora of experience photographing men’s and women’s college sports.
In 2020, at the height of COVID, he began working as a freelance photographer through the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, covering high school and college sports. In 2021, he became the official team photographer for the Iowa Heartlanders, an ECHL hockey team in Coralville, IA. He lives in Cedar Rapids with his wife, Annette, and a couple of four-legged fur babies.
