Here are just some of the options for the coverage of your next sporting event or athletes using my extensive sporting experience on both sides of the camera to capture the right moments and the right angles.
General Event Coverage: General compelling and high quality event coverage of the action to provide images to share on Social Media for participants and to show off your event, as well to be used in future to promote the event. Included in this package is a fast turnover of images with order based on highest priority to get out on social media.
Extensive Event Coverage: This service I bring on a team of high quality photographers I continuously work with. For this service we aim to cover every single participant of the event using multiple photographers stationed at different areas of the field / course. We can discuss the size of the event and area space to decide on the number of photographers required for an extra fee. Depending on how urgent you require the images post event, editors can be added for an extra fee. For this service I adopt the ‘more is best’ approach.
High quality ‘commercial’ style of imagery: This is useful if you don’t necessarily need a heap of images and don’t necessarily need a whole bunch of athletes, rather than a few amazing images that can be used for advertising purposes, weather it is post event or for future events. You will receive less images than a general event coverage but time will be taken to make these eye catching images ‘art’ to give strong visual presence to your event. Popular events for this, not limited to, include marathons through epic scenery, using the location and scenery as a major selling point. If you are wanting a ‘sunrise’ that is limited to weather and cloud cover on your event day but many other ‘iconic’ images can be created. For this service I adopt the ‘less is more’ approach.
Corporate Sponsor/Partner Appreciation images: This means creatively capturing the branding of sponsors embedded in the event. Not just an image of a sign but the sign in the action. These are great for saying thank you and for putting in proposals for future sponsors. I can assist in the best placement of your signage if you are unsure to get the best out of your images.
Media images: This means photographing the event and important parts of the event decided by your PR or Communications team to provide in a press release to media entities etc.

Athlete / team focus: Is there a major tournament/championship you have a team in that you want covered? I offer a service where I become a personal photographer for your team at the event. Due to the event photographers have to cover the entire event they might only get a few images of your team. Adding me to your team ensures in a bigger volume and more concentrated view of images of your athletes in a championship event, that can be used on a variety of platforms to show off your team. This also includes covering the athletes sponsored by your brand within an event. Often this means I require a media pass for the event your team is participating in, so ensure you book me or at least apply for media accreditation for the event before the cut off is set to ensure I can get the best access of your team.
