He has generously donated his photographs to be featured on the Sport in Society website. The images will illustrate some of the chief ideas and core values of Sport in Society and to enhance the renovated website coming soon.

Chris Hamilton is an award winning photographer who has gained national attention for his unique images and ability to create artwork that supports and advances corporate, advertising and editorial clients toward their end goal. Hamilton has captured outstanding shots with intense emotion in a variety of sporting events, such as the NBA finals, Olympics, Paralympics, NFL Super bowl and the Indy 500.

Hamilton�s ability to promote and inspire others to lead healthy lifestyles through his art directly correlates to Sport in Society�s efforts to do the same through research, education, and advocacy. In particular, his photographs of the Paralympic Games truly capture the ideals Sport in Society promotes through its Disability in Sport initiative, encouraging inclusion, equality, respect, and opportunity for persons with disabilities in sport and in society.
