The Photographer

Zander Poole

Zander Poole is a car enthusiast and independent photographer based in Dalton, Massachusetts. He started bringing a camera to events because he loves what happens at them — the builds, the sound, the details that don't make the official recap. That turned into something more serious: a committed effort to document automotive culture, live events, and sports coverage with editorial-quality results.

He shoots independently. He doesn't work for a publication and isn't going to pretend otherwise. What he does is show up prepared, take the work seriously, and produce images that are actually usable — for editorial use, event archives, or licensing. The portfolio on this site reflects work in progress: events covered, cars documented, and coverage building toward more access and a stronger archive.

Available for media coverage, credentialed event access, editorial assignments, and licensed image usage. If you run an event, manage a team, or work with a brand that needs a dedicated photographer — reach out.

The Name

About Rooney

Rooney is the family dog. He has a particular habit of showing up at the worst possible moment — garage sessions, equipment setups, photo edits — and being completely indifferent to whatever is happening. He is not helpful. He is very present.

Naming the site after him felt right. Rooney Poole Media started the same way he operates: showing up without an invitation, figuring it out, getting better at being there. It's a personal project built from genuine interest in cars and the culture around them — not a corporate brand, not a publication. Just a photographer who takes it seriously.
