Defy Ordinary, Capture Extraordinary

Upstate NY Photography by Jared DeGroff

Meet the Mind Behind the Mayhem

Jared isn’t your typical creative. He’s the eye behind the lens, the pulse behind the edits, and the drive behind HeckRaiser Productions—a visual renegade based in the heart of Upstate New York. Jared doesn’t just capture moments—he chases them down, flips them inside out, and makes them unforgettable.

Where others see "ordinary," he sees opportunity. Every gritty detail, every blink-and-you-miss-it moment, every chaotic corner of life—Jared finds the raw beauty and brings it to life with intensity and soul. His style? Bold. Unfiltered. Alive. He’s not here to play it safe. He’s here to make you feel something.

Fueled by the belief that everything has the potential to be art, Jared creates visuals that punch through the noise. Whether it’s action sports, motorsports, fitness, or those unrepeatable candid moments, he’s capturing more than just images—he’s telling stories that defy expectations.

This isn’t just content. This is HeckRaiser.

Aspire Athletics

Aspire to Rise

This isn’t your average gym flick. This is a visual tribute to the sweat, support, and soul that power Aspire Athletic Club. It’s more than fitness—it’s a tribe. A movement. A place where the grind is real, and the community runs deep.

Every frame captures the heartbeat of Aspire—gritty high-fives after savage sets, cheers that echo through heavy breaths, and that unshakable energy that comes when people show up for each other. This is where iron sharpens iron, and every rep is a step toward something bigger than yourself.

At Aspire, it’s not just about getting stronger—it’s about rising together. Overcoming doubt. Smashing limits. Fueling each other’s fire. Because greatness doesn’t happen alone—it happens side by side, in the trenches.

We don’t just train here. We transform.

Aspire to Achieve. Aspire to Rise.

Racers For autism 2024

Fuel the Cause. Floor It for Change.

Racers For Autism isn’t your average feel-good fundraiser—it’s a full-throttle, high-octane collision of speed and purpose at the legendary Albany-Saratoga Speedway. This event slaps the gas pedal on generosity and turns raw horsepower into real impact for the autism community.

Once a year, the track becomes sacred ground. Racers, fans, families—all pulling up for something way bigger than the checkered flag. It’s high-speed chaos with a cause, where every lap, every burnout, every engine roar echoes with meaning.

This isn’t just racing. This is a movement on wheels. A rally cry for unity, awareness, and giving back. When the green flag drops, adrenaline and compassion go head-to-head—and everybody wins.

Racers For Autism. Fast cars. Full hearts. No limits.

Everything else

Unscripted. Unfiltered. Unforgettable.

Not every shot has a plan—and that’s the beauty of it. This is the work born in the in-between moments. The off-the-cuff. The blink-and-it’s-gone. From the pulse of a game-time high to the stillness of untouched nature, these images weren’t staged—they were found in the wild chaos of real life.

Every photo in this collection is a badge of experience—raw, authentic, and entirely its own. No two moments are the same, and that’s exactly the point. This isn’t just photography. This is storytelling without a script. It’s the thrill of the unknown. The beauty of the unplanned. The art of being there when lightning strikes.

These aren’t snapshots. They’re chapters from a bigger story—one that’s still unfolding. And through every frame, you’re invited to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be—electric, alive, and wide open.
