How the
process of obtaining action sports photos
works:
-
Contact us if you
have interest in a sporting event
being photographed or if you have
seen us at an event;
-
Feel free
to approach us at a game and let us know
if you are interested in one particular
player;
-
Let us know what
type of photos you are after - team
shots, individual action shots,
candids, a "photojournal" of the
event, etc.
-
If the event has
already been
photographed, check the
GALLERIES
section for print availability. If you
are interested in a poster, please
email us.
NOT ALL SHOTS ARE POSTED IN THE
GALLERIES.
-
For
poster work:
-
We will quote
your request;
-
We will
provide a simple "proof" for your
review. This will typically not be a completed
work;
-
Upon receipt of payment,
we will finalize and print the job. Please note that
prints can take up to two weeks for
delivery;
-
We will notify you when
the prints are available and make
arrangements for pickup and/or
shipping;
-
As a
reminder, all work is
copyrighted and may not be
duplicated without permission;

WHAT WE
SHOOT:
-
We specialize and
enjoy taking action shots of outdoor
sports;
-
We
typically shoot the action during a game
and/or those players we have been asked
to shoot. We do not try or intend to
shoot every player at every game.
-
If you
are reviewing a gallery and do not see
your player in any photos, let us know
the player/number and we will check the
offline game shots.
NOT ALL
SHOTS ARE POSTED IN THE GALLERIES.
Unless you have specifically asked for a
player to be photographed, do not take
offense if we did not get any shots of
your player. We do not try or intend to
shoot every player at every game.
-
We shoot indoor
sports as well, but keep in mind
that lighting for indoor youth/amateur
sports is almost always a
problem, especially in those cases
flash or strobes are not allowed;
-
We concentrate on
Penfield-based teams but have shot for
various teams/tournaments
throughout New York State.
-
If requested, we
will shoot a "journal" of the event;
-
We are typically
not in the business of doing dozens
of
youth soccer team photos over a
three-hour period. While we will do
static team or individual photos from
time to time, our specialty and interest
lies in capturing action.
-
If you
give us a specific individual to shoot,
we will do our best to get action shots.
However we utilize cameras and not magic
wands, and therefore the "action shots"
depend on the action itself;
-
Please
note we attend most events at the
request of a participant, coach,
administrator or parent. We may ask your
help in letting other
participants/spectators know who we are
and why we are at the event taking
pictures.

WHAT WE
PRINT:
-
Our philosophy on sports
prints, particularly action shots, is
the bigger the better. Therefore the
vast majority of what we recommend is
8"x10" or larger. Smaller than 8"x10" is
of course possible, but we feel most of
the impact is lost at the smaller sizes;
-
We can
provide photos
with logos, graphics, text and other
identifiers. Anything from simple player
names to a full collage of an event,
encompassing several pictures. This
approach provides additional impact to
the photo - and when the print is
reviewed 20 years from now the viewer
will know who, what and when. Please see
the
posters
page
for more info and samples.
-
We utilize professional
quality printers, inks and papers for
in-house work and a professional
printing service for other work.
