STEVE MANCINI – “Roller Derby Fan & Photographer, in that Order” has been Steve’s ‘about’ on his Masonite Burn photography page since 2009 when he first picked up a camera and taught himself (with a lot of help from his fellow derby photographers) how to shoot. He has been shooting for the Rose City Rollers since 2009 and in 2012 won DerbyLife’s Photo of the Year with his image of Demanda Riot. Being a glutton for punishment he has not only shot several tournaments but also coordinated photography for Wild West Showdown(2012-2014), Spudtown Knockdown(2012-2014), and the Big O (2014). In 2011, he managed photographers for the WFTDA tournament in Portland Oregon. “Sharkey” (as he is called by friends) is also known for starting the “f/2.8: Fast Glass around the Derby Track” group – a collection of 500+ roller derby photographers who share experiences to raise the bar for all derby photography around the world.
