Magic
Sports Photography
Photography, especially sports photography, is an art form that requires vision, expertise, patience, and maybe, a little magic. Catching the excitement of the game and the emotion of the moment requires a photographer familiar with the flow and rhythm of the sport. Anyone can take a snapshot, but capturing "that" moment is what makes an action photo truly memorable.
In addition to capturing the action, one of the greatest joys of most athletes is their team. With the ability to capture studio quality images of teams or individual athletes, when and where work for you, the options available to commemorate this season are truly endless.
The Why to Capturing Youth Sports
For many children, youth athletics are where they will experience the greatest joys and worst disappointments of their young lives. As their parents, we get a front row seat to it all; both the celebrations and the heartbreaks. The path of their endeavors becomes the fabric of our daily lives: practices, games, team events, tournaments. Each season has its own story and sports photography provides the opportunity to capture that story to be treasured for years to come.
Action Sports Photography
From t-ball, to coach pitch baseball, to their first outing on the mound, every athlete has a story that covers seasons and years. Action sports photography captures the best of these moments. The elation of the homerun. The excitement of the winning goal. The team camaraderie after a great win.
For most sports, action photography requires skill, knowledge, and a whole lot of specialized equipment. Large fields, courts, and venues require zoom lenses to get close enough to the action to capture facial expressions and emotions. Night time and indoor venues require professional cameras that can handle the lighting combined with the speed of the game. The pace of sports photography requires a photographer familiar with the ebbs and flows of the game along with the best positions to capture prime action shots.
Composite Sport Images
Whether you want a unique photo to celebrate your athlete or a special image to capture this season’s team, composite images open up a whole new world of options. Captured in a studio setting, these images can be personalized to make special player keepsakes or great coaches’ gifts.
